Indeed. Although it doesn't strictly idle right away: it first tries to
keep working on oth

I am just curious!
Todays computers are running on high clock frequencies.
If I have CPU that runs on (let say) 1 GHz what parts of hardware
are actually running on this speed? (except crystal :)
I understand that memory chips are much slower than CPU so every
time that CPU need data that is not in
4 matches
