D. Instructions per cycle (IPC): IPC is a measure of how many instructions a CPU can execute in one clock cycle. A higher IPC indicates a more efficient CPU that can perform more work per clock cycle, thus providing greater computational power.
TheFivePipsOption: D
Clock speed (measured in GHz) refers to how fast the CPU can process instructions per second. It's like the speed limit on a highway; a higher speed limit allows more cars to pass through in a given amount of time. Instructions per cycle (IPC) refers to how many instructions a CPU can execute in one clock cycle. It's like how efficient each car is at carrying passengers; a car with more seats can carry more people in a single trip. Relationship: Clock speed determines how many clock cycles occur in a second, essentially setting the pace of the CPU. IPC determines how many instructions the CPU can process within each of those clock cycles, indicating its efficiency.
