instructions can execute several low level operations (e.g. load from memory, store to memory or an arithmetic operation), or are capable of multi step operations...

they support. Modern CPU designs integrate a memory controller into the CPU. This determines the type of memory supported, as well as how many channels can...

power is cut. SSD's are based on flash memory. They are much quicker than HDD's , do not make much noise and heat , but they are costlier than HDD's , but...
