You can improve processor performance by (select all that apply)
A
increasing the clock speed
B
using more cores
C
using a bigger cache
D
installing more RAM
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The more cache there is, the more data can be stored closer to the CPU. Cache memory is beneficial because: Cache memory holds frequently used instructions/data which the processor may require next and it is faster access memory than RAM, since it is on the same chip as the processor.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cache’s primary purpose is to increase data retrieval performance by reducing the need to access the underlying slower storage layer. Trading off capacity for speed, a cache typically stores a subset of data transiently, in contrast to databases whose data is usually complete and durable.
