CPU(Central Processing Unit)

The CPU(Central Processing Unit)  Is The Main Component On The Motherboard. It Is The Brain Of The Computer Where All The Data Processing Takes Place.

It Is The Incharge Of Executing The Program Instructions And Logical Calculations. The CPU Is The Largest Component On The Motherboard. It Is A Square Chip Which Is Inserted Into The Motherboard, In A Plastic Or Metal Holder Called A CPU Socket.

And Directly On The Top Of The CPU Is The Heat Sink And Fan.

And These Are Used To Keep CPU From Overheating. The Speed Of The CPU Is Measured In MHz(Mega Hertz) Example - 1 MHz = 1 Million Cycles Per Second 500 MHz = 500 Million Cycles Per Second 1 Ghz = 1 Billion Cycles Per Second

The Above CPU Has 266 MHz, i.e MHz= 266 Million Cycles Per Second. Today High-End CPU(Processors) Average Speed Of Over (3 Mhz)3 Billion Per Second.   Inside The CPU(Processor) Is The Core(CPU Core). The Core Is Where The Reading And Execution Of Instructions Takes Place.   The CPU(Processor) That Has A Single Core Processes Instructions One At A Time. Single Core - Processes Instructions One At A Time. But Todays High-End CPU(Processors) Have More Than One Core.   These Are Called Multi-Core(More Than One) Processors.And They Can Process More Instructions Than A Single Core Processor.

Which Gives The Multi-Core Ability To Multi-Task And A Greater Overall Performance. Some Examples Of A Multi-Core CPU's Are Dual-Core Processors(CPU) Which Has 2 Core's Quad-Core Processor(CPU) Which Has 4 Core's         Read the full article
