1. THE FUNCTION OF A CPU

   • The CPU works by using this very simple cycle. FETCH, DECODE, EXECUTE.
     • HERTZ is the measurement of speed at which the computer can run at. The more cores you have (a quad core) the faster the computer can complete the cycle.
       • A vibrating stone inside the computer vibrates and tells you the amount of HERTZ your computer is running at.

2. THE PURPOSE OF A CPU.

   • The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the part of a computer system that is commonly referred to as the "brains" of a computer. The CPU is also known as the processor or microprocessor. The CPU is responsible for executing a sequence of stored instructions called a program.
