Understanding RAM: Why It’s Essential for Your Computer’s Performance
What Is RAM?
RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a type of computer memory that plays a crucial role in how quickly and smoothly your device can perform tasks. Unlike permanent storage on hard drives or SSDs, RAM is volatile, meaning it temporarily holds data that your computer needs immediately while it’s running. Once the power is off, the data in RAM is erased. This fast-acting memory serves as a bridge between your computer’s processor and data storage, making it essential for multitasking and running programs efficiently.

The processor, or CPU, Central Processing Unit, "CPU" is the essential component of a computer that interprets instructions and processes data from a program.
The processing speed of a processor is still sometimes expressed in MIPS (million instructions per second) or in Megaflops (millions of floating-point operations per second) for the floating-point part, called FPU (Floating Point Unit). However, today, the processors are based on different architectures and parallelization techniques treatments that no longer allow to simply determine their performance. Specific benchmarking programs have been developed to obtain comparisons of actual program execution times.
