    The key factors that determine a computer's power are: 1) The speed at which it can handle program instructions, measured in millions of instructions per second. 2) The internal clock speed in megahertz, which controls timing. 3) Attributes like the efficiency of its instruction set, size of memory, number of bus tracks, and type of input/output devices.

    3 (a) What factors related to the power of computers

    The Power of Computer

    „ The factors that determine the power of a computer (how much it can do, and
    how fast) are as follows.
    ‹ The speed of handling program instructions, which for a mainframe is
    measured in millions of instructions per second (MIPS)
    ‹ The MHz (Megahertz) rates of the internal clock (the rate at which
    timing pulses are emitted from the control unit).
    „ The efficiency of the instruction set. Some computers combine a fairly small
    set of instructions in clever ways to increase efficiency.
    ‹ The size of the processor’s memory.
    ‹ The number of tracks on the computer’s buses.
