What parts of the CPU (Heal or Crit!)
→ What are Fetch, Decode, and Execute?
This architecture is used in most mobile phones and emphasizes energy efficiency.
(Loot roll!)
→ What is ARM?
This is the speed of a CPU, measured in billions of cycles per second.
→ What is GHz (Gigahertz)?
Intel CPUs use this type of socket, where the pins are on the motherboard.
→ What is LGA (Land Grid Array)?
This allows a CPU to run multiple operating systems simultaneously.
(Heal or Crit!)
→ What is virtualization?
This part of the CPU performs arithmetic and logical operations.
→ What is the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)?
Intel and AMD desktop processors are typically based on these two architectures.
(Ambush! Double damage on incorrect!)
→ What is x86 or x64?
These are virtual instruction streams that help CPUs do more at once.
→ What are threads?
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)?
This Intel technology allows virtual machines to run more efficiently on supported CPUs.
What is Intel VT-x?
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?
ARM is based on this type of instruction set, which uses simpler commands.
→ What is RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing)?
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?
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)
(You found portomancer! He will give someone a shield on a correct!)
This AMD technology supports virtualization on compatible processors.
→ What is AMD-V?
(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?
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)?
This multiprocessing technique uses two or more CPUs in one system.
→ What is SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing)?
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?
Chip-level multiprocessing involves the use of multiple ____ on the same _____.
(Loot roll!)
What are cores and chip?
This CPU component manages the control signals and directs the flow of instructions.
(Heal or Crit!)
→ What is the Control Unit?
This 64-bit architecture, created by AMD and adopted by Intel, supports more than 4 GB of RAM.
→ What is x64 or AMD64?
This term describes when multiple cores are placed on a single chip.
→ What is CMP (Chip-level Multiprocessing)?
This AMD server socket is used with EPYC processors.
→ What is SP3 (or SP5 for newer models)?
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)?
