A wait state of zero in hardware means the
- memory is faster than the processor in terms of speed.
- processor speed is higher than that of the memory.
- processor speed is lower than that of the memory.
-
processor and the memory are equally matched in speed.
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
A wait state of zero in hardware means that the processor and the memory are equally matched in speed. In computing, a wait state refers to the delay experienced by a computer processor when accessing memory. A wait state of zero means that there is no delay, implying that the processor and memory are operating at the same speed.
