@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ CPU speeds are measured in gigahertz (GHz). For every gigahertz of speed, a CPU
[Gigahertz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz) is not the only determining factor in the actual speed of a processor, as different processors with the same gigahertz speed (also known as clock speed) may perform real-world tasks at different speeds due to using different sets of instructions to perform these tasks. These instruction sets are called CPU architectures.
Most modern CPUs use a 64-bit architecture, which means they use 64 bit long memory adresses. Older CPUs used 32-bit, 16-bit, and even 8-bit architectures. The largest number a 64-bit CPU can store is 18,446,744,073,709,552,000. A CPPU need memory adresses to get specified values from the RAM. If we call the length of the memory adresses n, 2^n is the amount of memory cells a CPU can adress.

An instruction cycle for a CPU is called the fetch-decode-execute cycle - where the computer retrieves a instruction from its memory, deetermines which instruction it fetched and what it does, and then carries out said instrucitons.
