| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Level 3 (L3) cache | the name for the extra cache built into motherboards between the microprocessor and the main memory. |
| liquid cooling system | is a highly effective method of removing excess heat, with the most common heat transfer fluid in desktop PCs being water. |
| memory cache | random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM |
| MMX (Multimedia Extensions) | a set of 57 multimedia instructions built into Intel microprocessors and other x86-compatible microprocessors. |
| multi-core processing | is a single computing component with two or more independent actual central processing units (called "cores"), which are the units that read and execute program instructions. |
| multiplier | measures the ratio of an internal CPU clock rate to the externally supplied clock. |
| multiprocessor | is the use of two or more central processing units (CPUs) within a single computer system. |
| octo | is the central Information Technology (IT) and telecommunications agency for DCPS and the District of Columbia government. |
| overclocking | the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the clock frequency specified by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters. |
| PowerNow! | is speed throttling and power saving technology of AMD's processors used in laptops. |
| processor frequency | specifies the operating (internal) frequency of CPU's core. |
| quad core | contains four cores (e.g. AMD Phenom II X4, Intel's quad-core processors, see i3, i5, and i7 at Intel Core) |
| S1 state | is a sleeping state with power consumption, Software resumption, Hardware latency, and System hardware context. |
| S2 state | similar to S1 except that the CPU context and contents of the system cache are lost because the processor loses power. |
| S3 state | the hibernate state, is the lowest-powered sleeping state and has the longest wake-up latency. |
| static RAM (SRAM) | exhibits data remanence, but it is still volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventually lost when the memory is not powered. |
| stop errors | occurs when Windows XP Professional stops responding |
| thermal compound | is a viscous fluid substance, originally with properties akin to grease, which increases the thermal conductivity of a thermal interface |
| triple core | A single chip with three distinct processors that work simultaneously |
