In what ways are numerous central processing units (CPUs), multi-core processors, and hyper-threading distinct from one another? Two questions: (2) What are the distinctions between an Intel Core I CPU and an AMD processor, and (3) why would you want to upgrade? Third, differentiate between a central processing unit, graphics processing unit, and accelerated processing unit.

Processor R is a 64-bit RISC processor with a 2 GHz clock rate. The average instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor C is a CISC processor with a 1.8 GHz clock rate. The average simple instruction requires one cycle to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. The average complex instruction requires two cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Processor R can’t directly implement the complex processing instructions of Processor C. Executing an equivalent set of simple instructions requires an average of three cycles to complete, assuming zero wait state memory accesses. Program S contains nothing but simple instructions.
