100
This architecture is used in most mobile phones and emphasizes energy efficiency.
(Loot roll!)
→ What is ARM?
100
This is the speed of a CPU, measured in billions of cycles per second.
→ What is GHz (Gigahertz)?
100
Intel CPUs use this type of socket, where the pins are on the motherboard.
→ What is LGA (Land Grid Array)?
100
This allows a CPU to run multiple operating systems simultaneously.
(Heal or Crit!)
→ What is virtualization?
200
This part of the CPU performs arithmetic and logical operations.
→ What is the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)?
200
Intel and AMD desktop processors are typically based on these two architectures.
(Ambush! Double damage on incorrect!)
→ What is x86 or x64?
200
These are virtual instruction streams that help CPUs do more at once.
→ What are threads?
200
AMD CPUs like Ryzen traditionally use this socket type, with pins on the CPU.
(Ambush! Double damage on incorrect!)
→ What is PGA (Pin Grid Array)?
200
This Intel technology allows virtual machines to run more efficiently on supported CPUs.
What is Intel VT-x?
300
This memory type is faster than RAM and stores frequently accessed data to save the CPU time from going back to RAM repeatedly.
→ What is cache?
300
ARM is based on this type of instruction set, which uses simpler commands.
→ What is RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing)?
300
This Intel technology allows a single core to process two threads at once.
(Merchant discovered! Will stock the loot table or trade 2 items for 1 on a correct!)
→ What is Hyper-Threading?
300
This type of socket allows a CPU to be inserted without applying force, reducing the risk of damage.
(You found doc! He will remove one stack of a debuff!)
ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)
300
(You found portomancer! He will give someone a shield on a correct!)
This AMD technology supports virtualization on compatible processors.
→ What is AMD-V?
400
(Doc will remove one stack of a debuff on an incorrect!)
This type of memory is built into the CPU and holds data the processor is actively using.
→ What is a register?
400
x86/x64 is based on this architecture that uses more complex instructions.
(Reformed monster found! Kyn'Ek-Tor will tell you where something is: Ambushes, NPCs, Grave Stones, Criticals, or Heal spaces!)
→ What is CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing)?
400
This multiprocessing technique uses two or more CPUs in one system.
→ What is SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing)?
400
This Intel socket type was introduced for the 12th-generation Core processors and supports DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.
Tombstone- An adventurer has fallen here! On correct, a fallen hero regains 400 health!
→ What is LGA 1700?
400
Chip-level multiprocessing involves the use of multiple ____ on the same _____.

500
This AMD server socket is used with EPYC processors.
→ What is SP3 (or SP5 for newer models)?
500
This CPU feature allows each core to run two threads simultaneously, improving multitasking.
(Heal or Crit!)
What is Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT, generic) or Hyperthreading (Intel)?
