Socket
A socket is a physical component that assists in the physical and electrical connection of a processor with a motherboard.

Core
Simply put, the core is a separate CPU. At present multi-core processors are made with a few different CPUs. For example, let's say Pentium 4 is a single core CPU. Core 2 Duo is a 2 core CPU where 2 separate CPUs have been merged into a multi core CPU. Currently, the highest 6-core processor is available in the market.

GHz / Gigahartz
GHz is a unit that indicates the speed of the processor. This GHz unit expresses how fast a processor can work per second. 1 GHz = 1 billion cycles per second. The higher the GHz, the more powerful the processor.

Cash Memory
This is the most important part of the processor. Cache memory is a type of memory that is attached to a processor. When a processor is given a task command, the processor stores it in cache memory. If the amount of cache memory is less than the working command, the processor saves it on RAM and in some special cases on the hard disk. As a result, the processor becomes slow and the PC becomes slow. So the more cache memory you have, the better. However, this cache memory is again 3 types.

  • L1 - Capacity or size is very small, but can work the fastest.
  • L2-capacity is medium and work speed is also medium.
  • L3- Capacity or size is much higher but work speed is relatively slow.
    L2 is the most balanced type of cache memory. Intel typically uses L2 and L2 / 3 2 together. AMD mostly uses L1 / 2/3 3 tie together for better optimization.

FSB / Front Side Bus
FSB refers to the rate of communication between the chipset and the components of the CPU and the motherboard. The higher the FSB, the faster the CPU will be able to communicate with the motherboard and other devices. In addition, if the FSB is high, you can use RAM at much higher bus speeds (if your motherboard supports the same size FSB).

Turbo Boost
This is basically the ability of a processor to work at the highest speed. The turbo boost is limited by the voltage and thermal of the processor.

What are the processor cores, threads and hyperthreads?
Hyper-threading is a groundbreaking discovery by Intel that gives single cores the ability to work with two cores. AMD's processor A is called Hyper Transport. Because of this technology, even if many things are done together, the speed of the system does not slow down. Processors that support hyper-threading / transport are better than normal. Thread / Hyperthread is basically a technology from Intel that gives a single core the temporary ability to do the equivalent of 2 cores. That is, a virtual core with a physical core. But in some cases this thread / hyperthread is the real thing. Considering only the core, Intel has less but very powerful core. And compared to that, AMD has more cores but less voltage per core, which means a bit weaker.
