2 The CPU The CPU is made up of 3 main parts : Cache ALU Control Unit

3 Control unit The control unit is a component of the computer’s central processing unit that directs the operation of the processor. It tells the computer’s memory and logic unit and output and input designs, How to respond to the instructions given to it by the control unit.

4 Arithmetic Logic Unit An arithmetic logic unit is a combinational digital electronic circuit that performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers. This is in contrast to a floating-point unit, which operates on floating point numbers.

5 Cache The cache (pronounced "cash") is a space in your computer's hard drive and in RAM memory where your browser saves copies of previously visited Web pages. Your browser uses the cache like a short-term memory.

6 Clock Speed It is typically measured in megahertz or gigahertz. One megahertz is equal to one million cycles per second, while one gigahertz equals one billion cycles per second. This means a 1.8 GHz processor has twice the clock speed of a 900 MHz processor

7 FDE CYCLE The fetch execute cycle is the basic operation (instruction) cycle of a computer (also known as the fetch decode execute cycle). During the fetch execute cycle, the computer retrieves a program instruction from its memory. It then establishes and carries out the actions that are required for that instruction.

8 RAM Random-access memory is a form of computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code. A random-access memory device allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory.

9 MAR In a computer, the Memory Address Register (MAR) is the CPU register that either stores the memory address from which data will be fetched from the CPU, or the address to which data will be sent and stored. In other words, MAR holds the memory location of data that needs to be accessed.

10 MDR A memory buffer register (MBR), commonly referred to as a memory data recognizer (MDR) is the register in a computer's processor, or central processing unit, CPU, that stores the data being transferred to and from the immediate access storage.
