Haylee Wise · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

As computers become faster, memory access speed have not been keeping pace. In 1999, processor speeds went up from 90MHz to 500MHz, but during this same period, memory access have only gone from 120ns to 50ns. This shows that in this period, processor speed grew more than five times its value, but memory grew only 2.5 times its value.
