What is clock speed
the CPU clock rate, is an important component. The clock speed of a CPU or a
processor refers to the number of instructions it can process in a second

It is measured in gigahertz. For example, a CPU with a clock speed of 4.0 GHz
means it can process 400 Crores instructions in a second.

Each instruction represents a fundamental CPU activity,


1. such as transferring data or doing mathematical calculations.
2. The clock speed determines how quickly these instructions are executed.
3. A higher clock speed allows the CPU to process more instructions per
second.
Types of CPU

1. Single-Core CPUs
2. Dual-Core CPUs
3. Quad-Core CPUs
4. Hexa-Core CPUs
5. Octa-Core CPUs
Single core CPU
Single Core is the oldest type of computer CPU, which was used in the 1970s. It
has only one core to process different operations. It can start only one
operation at a time.
it is not suitable for multitasking as the performance will be reduced if more
than one application runs.
Dual Core CPU

A dual-core CPU's two cores enable the execution of many tasks in parallel. Each
core can independently execute instructions.
This capability significantly improves multitasking performance compared to
single-core processors. With dual-core CPUs, users can run multiple applications
simultaneously.

Quad Core CPU


This type of CPU comes with two dual-core processors in one integrated circuit
(IC) or chip. These cores read and execute instructions of CPU. The cores can run
multiple instructions simultaneously, thereby increases the overall speed for
programs.
In jobs like video editing, 3D graphics, and gaming, etc. that is simultaneous
execution.
Hexa-Core CPU

Hexa-core CPUs are computer processors that include six separate cores on a
single integrated circuit (IC) or chip. With six cores, processing power may be
boosted, and performance can be enhanced.

Octa-Core CPU

Octa-core CPUs are computer processors with eight separate cores on a single
integrated circuit (IC) or chip. Each core performs as a separate processing unit
that can perform calculations and commands.

Octa-core CPUs are best suited for computationally intensive software that
requires many resources. High-definition video editing, 3D rendering, intricate
scientific simulations, and virtualization are among the examples.
