It directs the movement of electronic signals between main memory and the arithmetic/logic unit. It also directs these electronic signals between main memory and the input and output devices. • For every instruction, the control unit carries out four basic operations, known as the machine cycle. • In the machine cycle, the CPU (1) fetches an © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

They may store a program instruction while it is being decoded, store data while it is being processed by the ALU, or store the results of a calculation. • All data must be represented in a register before it can be processed. • The number of registers that a CPU has and the size of each (number of bits) help determine the power and speed of a CPU. © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

A 32bit-word computer will transfer data within each microprocessor chip in 32-bit chunks. A 64-bit-word computer is faster, transferring data in 64-bit chunks at a time. (Most, but not all, 32-bit software will run on a 64-bit system, but 64bit software will not run on a 32-bit system.) © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

The cache memory is required to balance the speed mismatch between the main memory and the CPU. The clock of the processor is very fast, while the main memory access time is comparatively slower. Hence, the processing speed depends more on the speed of the main memory. How it differs from RAM? Cache memory is a type of super-fast RAM which is designed to make a computer or device run more efficiently. By itself, this may not be particularly useful, but cache memory plays a key role in computing when used with other parts of memory. © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

It creates a way for fast data transfers so it consumes less access time as compared to main memory. It stores frequently access that can be executed within a short period of time. Disadvantages of Cache Memory It is limited capacity memory. It is very expensive as compared to Memory (Random Access Memory (RAM)) and Hard Disk. © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.

PCIe is the latest standard for expansion cards available on mainstream personal computers. • Accelerated Graphics: Transmits data at twice the speed of a PCI bus and is designed to support video and 3-D graphics. • Universal Serial Bus (USB): Does away with the need to install cards in expansion slots. USB devices can connect one to another outside the system unit, and then the USB bus connects to the PCI bus on the motherboard. • Firewire: Resembles the USB bus but is used for more specialized purposes, such as to connect audio and video equipment to the motherboard. © 2015 by McGraw-Hill Education.
