IPC (instructions per cycle)
Türkçe: IPC (çevrim başına komut)
A measure of how many instructions a processor completes on average in each clock cycle.
// EXPLANATION
Single-core performance is roughly IPC × clock frequency. Architectural improvements (wider decoders, better branch prediction, bigger caches) raise IPC so more work gets done at the same frequency; that is why a new generation can be faster even at the same GHz.

Zen architectureThe family of microarchitectures AMD introduced with Ryzen in 2017 that rebalanced the processor market through chiplet design and high IPC.
Cache memoryA small, fast intermediate memory (L1, L2, L3) from which a processor can reach frequently used data far faster than from main memory.
ChipletA design approach that splits a processor into several small silicon dies combined in one package instead of one large die.
