1. The microprocessor is the brains of the computer, performs or executes the programs, and is essential for the operation of the computer

2. It is a silicon chip or pickup, containing integrated circuits

3. Its shape is square or rectangular, and its color is black

4. The function of the microprocessor is to retrieve, interpret, comply with instructions

5. being able to do arithmetic operations and also logical operations

6. junction (OR) or intersection (AND)

7. Programs stored in main memory need to be run

   • that's where the microprocessor that operates the data unfolds
   • Your speed (which are the operations you can do in a second)
   • measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz)
     • where 1,000 MHz equals 1 GHz.

8. History

   • Microprocessors emerged as a product of the technological evolution of two specific branches
     • a computación y los semiconductores. Ambos tuvieron sus inicios a mediados del siglo XX

9. A microprocessor operates based on a series of elementary instructions that are preprogrammed and stored in the form of binary code

   • Prefetch. Or pre-reading the instruction from the main memory of the system
   • Fetch. Sending the specific instruction to the decoder
   • Execution. Performing the instruction by the system components
   • Writing. Recording the results back in main memory, or in the logs

10. Features

    • Encapsulated. A ceramic cover that coats the silicon and protects it from elements (such as oxygen from the air)
    • Cache: An ultra-fast type of memory available to the processor, so that it does not use RAM but when needed
    • Mathematical coprocessor. Called a floating-point unit, it is the part of the processor that handles logical and formal operations
    • Records: A brief working memory on the processor, designed to keep control of its own operation and conditions
    • Ports. The conduits that allow the processor to communicate information with the rest of the system components

11. Intel and AMD are the most well-known brands of computer processors

    • Intel
      • Intel is a processor manufacturer that has a great alliance with Microsoft, the creator of Windows
      • ranges for everything from the m3 for ultrabooks to the Intel Core X family
    • For years, its main rival was AMD, although AMD did not offer as many professional solutions, focusing on the personal computer
    • AMD
      • Outside the professional industry, we found AMD as Intel's only competitor, focusing on price-performance
      • In 2017, AMD launched its range of Ryzen processors, hitting the table and putting Intel in serious trouble because its processors
