Match the component with its description:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
System Clock | arrow_right_alt | Responsible for performing arithmetic and logic operations required by program instructions. |
Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) | arrow_right_alt | Manages the flow of data within the processor and the entire computer system, ensuring correct handling of program instructions. |
Internal Clock | arrow_right_alt | Controls the processor's internal activity cycles, allowing it to synchronize various processes. |
Control Unit | arrow_right_alt | Controls activities outside the processor and helps coordinate the operation of the entire computer system. |
Clock Speed | arrow_right_alt | The CPU operates at a specific clock frequency, defining the minimum time period between successive activities within the system. |
