Computer
An electronic device for storing and processing data, takes input and gives output
What is computer
A main board of the computer that has many parts on it. This makes the computer work. It is also where the memory and the processing are found.
What is the motherboard
Displays visual output from the computer to the user
What is a monitor
Measured in Hertz, this spec indicates how many times per second a monitor updates its image
What is refresh rate
The visual or audio information a computer produces for the user is referred to as this
What is output
Physical parts or components of a computer
What is computer hardware
A form of computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code. It is often measured in megabytes or gigabytes.
What is Random-Access Memory (RAM)?
The primary function is to render images, videos, and animations for display on the monitor
What is a Graphics Card
Measured in milliseconds, it indicates how quickly pixels can change color
What is response time
A computer's ability to quickly react to user inputs and commands is known as this quality
What is responsiveness
Information processed or stored by a computer
What is data
A part that is the "brains" of your computer that processes the information
What is CPU (Central Processing Unit)
An electronic device that converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer.
What is a Power Supply Unit (PSU)?
The number of instructions a processor can process in any given second, measured in gigahertz (GHz).
What are CPU Clock Speeds
A well-designed computer system that maximizes performance while minimizing resource usage is described as being this
What is efficient
Manipulating data within the computer
What is processing
The primary storage component of a computer which holds all software and data.
What is a hard drive
A solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory and functioning as secondary storage in the computer storage hierarchy.
What is an Solid-State Drive (SSD)?
This measurement, typically given in inches, represents the diagonal distance from one corner of a display to the opposite corner
What is screen size
A key quality in computer hardware, this term describes a system's ability to consistently perform without failure over time
What is reliable
Instructs hardware to perform tasks
What is software
A passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature
What is a Heat Sink
These panels provide the best contrast ratio among LCD types, making them excellent for watching movies and other media content
What is Vertical Alignment (VA) panel
In modern CPUs, these individual processing units work together to handle multiple tasks simultaneously
What are cores
The amount of time it takes for memory to respond to a command. Generally, the lower the delay, the faster the device
What is latency
