| What is the importance of an embedded system? | an embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function with a larger mechanical or electrical system such as the computer that controls the functions of a washing machiene |
| what is a CPU? | A CPU is seen to be the "brains" of a computer. it is responsible for programming on computers and other devices. it uses electrical signals to direct the computer system and carries out STORED instructions |
| What does RAM stand for? | random access memory |
| what is the abbreviation for Read only memory? | ROM |

| what does 1GHz mean? | That a billion instructions are carried out per second |
| Cores: What are they? | they refer to the number of processors contained within a system they affect the performance of a computer Double the cores mean that there is double the amount of instructions that can be processed |
| What is cache memory? | It is the memory that sits between the CPU and main memory It acts as a buffer Temporarily stores instructions from the main memory Processor looks to cache first for instructions |
