- Microprocessors
- A microprocessor is a computer processor on a microchip
- The microprocessor contains all, or most of, the central processing unit (CPU) functions and
is the "engine" that goes into motion when you turn your computer on. A microprocessor is
designed to perform arithmetic and logic operations that make use of small number-holding
areas called registers. Typical microprocessor operations include adding, subtracting,
comparing two numbers, and fetching numbers from one area to another. These operations
are the result of a set of instructions that are part of the microprocessor design.
