Over clocking

.

Learning Objectives

 

Name the three stages in the Fetch Execute Cycle

 

Define Hz, MHz and GHz and state how these relate to the speed of the processor

 

 

Learning Outcomes

 

F/G   I understand the 3 main processes  of the CPU cycle

 

D/E I can explain the effect on the computer system of increasing and decreasing the processor speed

 

C/B I can explain the advantages and disadvantages of over clocking. 

Learning Objectives

 

To understand  how data flows within the central processing unit (CPU) as instructions are executed.

 

Learning Outcomes 

C/B   describe in own words  the journey of data through the CPU including the function ALU

 

D/E  describe in own words the fetch execute cycle.

 

F/G Can draw fetch execute cycle and demonstrates some understanding of journey of data through CPU
