2. For
producing multimedia you need
hardware, software and
creativity.
The processing unit
The memory Device
Graphics Card and Graphical Processing
Unit (GPU)
External storage and optical device.
3. The Processing Unit.
the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the most important
component of a computer . Some of the more popular CPU
brands in today’s market are AMD (Advance Micro Device)
and Intel.
Best CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K (Cores: 6
| Threads: 12 | Base clock: 3.7GHz | Boost
clock: 4.7GHz | L3 cache: 12MB | TDP: 95W)
Best high-end CPU: AMD Ryzen
Threadripper (Cores: 16 | Threads: 32 | Base
clock: 3.4GHz | Boost clock: 4.0GHz | L3 cache: 32MB
| TDP: 180W)
4. Memory Device
A RAM constitutes the internal memory of the CPU for storing data,
program and program result. It is read/write memory. It is called random
access memory (RAM). DDR4 RAM, which is short for "double data rate
fourth generation random access memory", is the latest internal
computing update engineered to boost performance.
ROM stands for Read Only Memory. The memory from which we can only
read but cannot write on it. This type of memory is non-volatile. The
information is stored permanently in such memories during manufacture.
A ROM, stores such instruction as are required to start computer when
electricity is first turned on, this operation is referred to as bootstrap.
5. Graphics Card and Graphical
Processing Unit (GPU)
A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a
specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate
and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in
a frame buffer intended for output to a display device.
GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile
phones, personal computers, workstations, and game
consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at
manipulating computer graphics and image processing, and
their highly parallel structure makes them more efficient
than general-purpose CPUs for algorithms where the
processing of large blocks of data is done in parallel.

,GigabytE Radeon Etc Etc…
6. Nvidia GeForce vs. AMD Radeon
Nvidia GeForce AMD Radeon
Raw Power Less power
consumption
(Efficient
Architecture)
30 – 40% more
power consumption
Updates Slow Fast(Future proof)
Scalability
(precision)
128 bits per clock 64 bits per clock
Drivability Size is not small
hence can give space
to more cores and
gears.
Small In Size hence
Cheaper. Need to
perform twice for the
same task.
7. External Storage and Optical
Devices.
external storage comprises devices that store
information outside a computer. Such devices
may be permanently attached to the computer,
may be removable or may use removable media.
8. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
HDD – traditional storage medium for
nearly all computers
Mechanical disk made up of metal platters
that are magnetised to hold data .
9. Solid State Drive (SSD)
A combination of a Flash USB drive and a
Hard Disk Drive
No moving parts
Becoming far more common
Popular with light weight, portable devices
10. Difference between
SSD
Performance is fast.
Not quite reliable.
More expensive per
GB.
Smaller, lighter and
less power
consumption.
HDD
Slowest component
in computer.
Tried and tested
technology that
lasts for years.
Cheap as chips.
Larger device.
11. Optical devices
CD:
They are not writable but readable.
Data stored in form of microscopic
indentations.
CD-ROM can actually hold about 737
MB of data.
CD-RW is also available.
12. DVD
DVD abbreviated as "digital video disc“ is
a digital optical disc storage.
A DVD similarly stores and plays
information based on a particular "dot
pattern" on its surface.
DVD+R, DVD+RW discs come in 4.7
GB single and 9.4 GB double-sided
13. BLU-RAY
Blu-ray (BD) is a digital optical disc data
storage format.
Used as a medium for video material such
as feature films and for the physical
distribution of video games.
Blu-ray discs contain 25 GB per layer,
with dual layer discs (50 GB)
14. M DISK
M-DISC's design is intended to provide
greater archival media longevity.
M-DISC uses a single inorganic recording
layer(inert to oxygen), but requires a
higher-powered laser.
M-DISC DVD does not require the
reflective layer.
15. CAMERAS
AN optical instrument for recording or
capturing images, which may be stored
locally, transmitted to another location.
Zooming on your digital camera involves
getting a closer view of far-away subjects.
Optical zoom gets up close and personal
by using an actual lens adjustment.
digital zoom adjusts the image in the
camera itself .
