What is the primary role of BIOS/UEFI firmware in a computer system?

To allocate memory to running programs

To provide the main user interface for running applications

To initialize hardware and start the boot process

To manage the file system on storage devices

A user complains that their computer is slow when running a single-threaded application. The CPU has a base clock of 3.0 GHz and a turbo boost of 4.0 GHz. The system has 16 GB of RAM and an SSD. What is the most likely bottleneck?

The SSD is too slow for the application.

The CPU has too few cores for the application.

The CPU's clock speed is too low for the application.

The RAM is insufficient for the application.

What does the term 'clock speed' refer to in a CPU?

The amount of cache memory available on the CPU

The number of cores in the processor

The number of cycles per second the CPU can execute, measured in hertz (GHz)
