What is numeric processing unit?
The Numeric Processing Unit is a specialized version of a CPU, it can ONLY preform math operations, but does them at a much faster rate than the CPU. Because it is directly controlled by the CPU the NPU does not have ANY address selection ability. Therefore , it has NO connection to the address bus. (Note hte direct connection to the CPU , in modern systems the NPU is physically part of the CPU).
Does the DIMM perform simple math for the CPU?
No. The RAM (in the DIMM) is a storage area. The CPU performs mathematical operations.
Is CPU speed a ratio or interval?
ratio
What performs the arithmetic computation and logic operations in the CPU?
ALU
The part of CPU responsible for arithmetical operations is called?
ALU, the Arithmetic Logic Unit.
Is the CPU updating cycle another name for the CPU processing cycle?
true
Is it true mainlining boosts CPU performance by allowing the CPU to work on more than one processing stage at a time?
It is not true.
Cache memory does not affect the performance of the CPU?
true
Is it true or false that an output devices store instructions or data that the CPU processes?
true
What is true when purchasing a motherboard with a multiple CPU socket?

Why CPU use binary system?
First you have to understand that the CPU pretty much reagulates electricity. The binary system is pretty much composed of two numbers 0 and 1 which basically means that a zero equals off and one equals on.
Is it true that the percentage of your CPU is working is referred to as processing time?
false
When the mouse initiates a hardware interrupt to the CPU how does the CPU know?
The CPU does not "know" it is not a thinking being. What happens is that the interrupt flag ( a binary true or false register) is detected by the operating system which is being executed by the CPU and the code of the operating system runs a routine in response.
Is it true that the processor CPU interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer?
Yes the CPU is the "brains" behind the computer, while the RAM is its temporary memory.
What is the function of CPU fan cover?
so it doesnt cut your fingers off. simple, but true haha
How to tell if motherboard or processor is bad?
The only true way is to replace the CPU with a working CPU and see if it works. But, if all of your other hardware devices are working then you can bet it is not your motherboard. Another words if you are getting power to your motherboard and all your devices are working, but you are having problems with your CPU then you can bet it's the CPU.
When your computer runs out of RAM the operating system borrows space from the CPU true or false?
False
