Two processors A and B have clock frequencies of 700 Mhz and 900 Mhz respectively. Suppose A can execute an instruction with an average of 3 steps and B can execute with an average of 5 steps. For the execution of the same instruction which processor is faster.

A computer's memory system is a temporary storage area that holds data and instructions for the Central Processing Unit (CPU). It's a critical component that allows the CPU to communicate with other peripherals and execute instructions. Computer memory is divided into small parts called cells. Each cell has a unique address that ranges from zero to the memory size minus one. There are two types of computer memory: primary and secondary. Primary memory is an integral part of the computer system. Computer memory is also of two types: volatile (RAM) and non-volatile (ROM).   Topics include:... Show more
