One of the most important parts of a processor is the buffer memory, also called the cache. What is it responsible for and how does it work?

How does computer memory work? To truly understand how computer memory works, we must first examine the basic building blocks that make it possible: transistors and logic gates.

The chip plugs into a socket on the computer's circuit board and communicates with memory, hard drives, display screens and other devices external to the CPU.

This article explains a Computer CPU Pipeline and how Pipelining improves CPU Performance by executing multiple instructions simultaneously.

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...
