Hardwire Tangible, physical portion of an information
system/computing device
Digital devices processes electronic signals
into discrete values, of
which there can be two
or more
Many electronic devices
process signals into
two discrete values,
typically known as
Binary. These values are
represented as either
a one ("on") or a zero ("off").
Bit What each one or zero is referred to
Byte A group of 8 bits
Word size The number of bits that can be processed by a
computer's processor at one time
What numbering Base 2.

What is the lowest level Bit (stored as either one or zero)
of data storage?
What is the highest 225, which is 11111111
number that can be
sent in a byte?
What are the basic A Central Processing Unit
components of a (CPU), memory, circuit
computer? board, storage, and
input/output devices
Central Processing Unit It can be thought of as the "brains" of the
(CPU) device. The CPU carries out the commands sent
to it by the software and returns results to
be acted upon.
Who are the two primary Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
manufacturers of CPU's?
Hertz How the speed ("clock
time") of a CPU. A hertz is
defined as one cycle per
second
Kilohertz one thousand cycles per second
Megahertz
the observation that computing power roughly doubles
every two years. "faster,
Moore's Law cheaper," phenomenon. hip performance per
dollar doubles every eighteen months (Moore's
original paper assumed two years, but many
sources today refer to the
eighteen-month figure, so we'll stick with that).
