1. CPU

   • Purpose: A computer processor, or central processing unit (CPU), is the brains of the computer. The purpose of a computer processor is to do the actual computation done by the computer, which includes managing the computer's memory, handling input from users, sending them output and doing whatever calculations are necessary.
   • Function The Brains of the Computer. As I mentioned, the CPU is similar to the human brain. The Four Primary Functions of the CPU. The CPU processes instructions it receives in the process... Multi-Core Processors. A multi-core processor is actually a CPU that had two or more independent...
   • Component Factors: Let’s start by looking at the multiple cores. Clock Speed. The processor requires a clock pulse in order to operate correctly,... Cache Memory. Cache memory is a small amount of high performance RAM (Random Access Memory)... Word length. This word length is the word length of a CP
