components.
 Primary storage internal to the CPU; temporarily
stores data and program instructions during
processing.

How the CPU Works (Continued)
 Binary form: The form in which data and instructions can be read by
the CPU – only 0s and 1s.
 Machine instruction cycle: The cycle of computer processing, whose
speed is measured in terms of the number of instructions a chip
processes per second.
 Clock speed: The preset speed of the computer clock that times all
chip activities, measured in megahertz and gigahertz.
 Word length: The number of bits (0s and 1s) that can be processed by
the CPU at any one time.
 Bus width: The size of the physical paths down which the data and
instructions travel as electrical impulses on a computer chip.

width, the faster the chip.

Making the physical layout of the chip’s components as
compact and efficient as possible.
Using materials for the chip that improve the conductivity
(flow) of electricity.

information that will be immediately used by the
CPU.
Secondary stores much larger amounts of data
and information (an entire software program, for
example) for extended periods of time.
