Vocabulary:
Unit 2. Computer hardware
1. Answer the questions:
– What computer hardware do you know?
– What are the functions of computer hardware components?
2. Read the text and match the words with their translations:
Internal computer hardware components:
Computers need internal components to process and store data delivered by a program or operating system. The user can find them inside the computer case:
CPU – the processor, which CAN BE CALLED the brain of the computer. It performs the basic operations. Its productivity CAN BE DETERMINED BY the quantity of cores, clock speed, the amount of cache memory and the structure of information processing.
Motherboard – a central hub that serves to interconnect information flows between all hardware components
RAM (random access memory) – temporary memory processing in real time. The larger the memory size is, the faster PC will run. RAM data IS CLEARED after switching off the computer.
Hard drive/hard disk drive – physical storage device for permanent and temporary data.
SSD (solid-state drive) – a modern non-volatile solid-state drive that replaced HDD. Its goal is to store data safely even when the computer IS TURNED OFF.
Optic drive – drive that locates in an on-device drive bay. It enables the computer to interact with compact discs.
Heat sink – used for regulation of the temperature inside the computer to avoid overheating of its components.
Graphics processing unit/video card – chip-based device. It processes graphical data. It usually extends functions of the CPU to let the computer work with more complicated tasks.
