Option 3 : Memory access time

The correct answer is Memory access time.

  • The amount of time it takes to move a character from or to the CPU from RAM is known as the memory access time.
  • Access times for quick RAM chips are 10 nanoseconds (ns) or less.
  • The memory hierarchy's design, the size of the blocks at each level, the management rules selected for each level, and the amount of time required to access data at each level all affect how quickly data can be accessed from memory.

  • Instruction cycle:
    • The central processing unit runs through an instruction cycle from the time the computer boots up until it shuts down in order to process instructions.
    • The fetch stage, the decode stage, and the execute stage are the three primary stages that make up this process.
  • CPU frequency:
    • Clock rate, PC frequency, and CPU frequency are other terms for clock speed.
    • This is measured in gigahertz, sometimes known as GHz, which stands for billions of pulses per second.
    • How quickly a CPU can process data and how well a PC performs are both determined by its clock speed (move individual bits).
  • Memory formatting time:
    • All of the data on the memory card is permanently deleted during formatting.
    • Quick format could take up to 2 minutes, depending on the size of the card. In the absence of Quick format, the procedure requires more time.
