- CPU cooler
- Thermal paste
CPU Terminology
- CPU stands for Central Processing Unit.
- Two major brands of CPU in the market today are:
- Intel
- AMD
CPU Units
- A CPU has five major units responsible for data processing:
- Control Unit
- Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
- Registers
- Cache
- Bus
CPU Cache and RAM
- CPU cache is a small, fast memory that stores frequently accessed data.
- RAM (Random Access Memory) is a larger, slower memory that stores data temporarily.
IT Roles

- Dot Matrix
- 3D
Printer Differences
- The differences between printers include:
- Print quality
- Speed
- Cost
- Technology used
Application Software and Operating System Software
- Application software is designed to perform specific tasks, such as word processing or gaming.
- Operating system software manages the computer's hardware and provides a platform for running applications.
Local and Network Printers
- A local printer is connected directly to a computer.
- A network printer is connected to a network and can be accessed by multiple devices.
Wireless Printer Connections

- RAM
- Power supply
- Hard drive
- Graphics card
- Sound card
- Network card
- Optical drive
Purpose of Computer Components
- Each component has a specific purpose, such as:
- CPU: executes instructions
- RAM: temporarily stores data
- Power supply: provides power to components
- Hard drive: stores data
- Graphics card: handles graphics processing
- Sound card: handles audio processing
- Network card: handles network connections
- Optical drive: reads and writes optical discs
Firmware and Hardware
- Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer.
- Firmware is software that is permanently stored in read-only memory (ROM).
UEFI and BIOS
- UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a firmware that provides a more modern and secure way of booting a computer.
- Two factors that make UEFI different from BIOS are:
- UEFI uses a graphical interface, while BIOS uses a text-based interface.
- UEFI provides better security features than BIOS.
