What does the term 'core' refer to? The number of processors contained within the system. Eg - Quad Core = Four Processors
What is the purpose of cache memory and where is it located? The cache memory temporarily stores instructions from the main memory. It sits between the CPU and the main memory.

Name 3 logic gates - NOT gates AND gates OR gates
What do NOT gates do? NOT takes one bit as an input and gives the opposite as an output. Eg - Input: 1, Output: 0
If I input 1 to a NOT gate, what will the output be? 0
What does a NOT gate look like?
What do AND gates do? AND gates take two bits as inputs. If both inputs are 1, then the output is 1. Otherwise, the output is 0.
If I input a 1 and a 0 to an AND gate, what will the output be? 0
If I input a 0 and a 0 to an AND gate, what will the output be? 0
If I input a 1 and a 1 to an AND gate, what will the output be? 1
What does an AND gate look like?
What do OR gates do? OR gates take two bits as inputs. If both inputs are 0 then the output is 0. Otherwise, the output is 1.
