| Feature | Description |
| Architecture | Basic design of a microprocessor that may include process technology and/or other architectural enhancements. |
| Cache | Temporary storage for frequently accessed or recently (MB/KB) accessed data. Storing certain data in a cache speeds up the computer's operation. Cache size is measured in megabytes (MB) or kilobytes (KB). |
| Clock Speed | The speed of the processor's internal clock which dictates how (MHz/GHz) fast the processor can process data. Clock speed is typically measured in GHz |
| Front Side Bus (FSB) | The connecting path between the processor and other key (MHz/GHz) components, such as the memory controller hub. Front side bus speed is measured in MHz or GHz. |
