Session 4 - LA.B - Internal components of a computer 1 - 08/01/2024

  • Session 4 - LA.B - Internal components of a computer 1 - 08/01/2024

    Internal components of a computer - Understand the main characteristics, functions and role of the internal components of a computer, including:

    • the motherboard – printed circuit board (PCB) holding main components of the system
    • central processing unit (CPU) – arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), control unit, registers
    • memory (RAM, ROM, including Flash memory)
    • graphics/sound/video hardware
    • heat dispersal systems – fans and heat sinks
    • storage devices – solid state, optical and magnetic
    • how internal components of a computer affect performance and user experience
    • comparison of different specifications of internal components
    • how the features of the central processing unit and graphical processing unit affect performance and user experience: o clock speed o caches o multiple processing cores o heat, power consumption
    • how the features of mobile devices affect performance/user experience: o System-on-a-Chip (SoC) o CPU and GPU o battery life
    • comparing how mobile systems are different from traditional platforms
    • how the features of memory and storage devices affect performance/ user experience: o memory (cache and RAM) o storage devices (solid state, optical and magnetic media) 
    • the role of computer buses in carrying data between the internal components of a computer.
