Study Notes

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

Overview

  • The brain of the computer, responsible for executing instructions and handling data processing
  • Also known as the processor or microprocessor

Functions

  • Executes instructions from the operating system and applications
  • Performs arithmetic and logical operations
  • Manages data transfer between components
  • Controls the flow of data and instructions

Components

  • Control Unit: retrieves and decodes instructions, generates control signals
  • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): performs mathematical and logical operations
  • Registers: small amount of on-chip memory for storing data temporarily
  • Cache Memory: small, fast memory for storing frequently accessed data

Types

  • Microprocessor: a single chip that contains the entire CPU
  • Multi-core Processor: multiple processing cores on a single chip
  • Multi-processor System: multiple CPUs working together

Specifications

  • Clock Speed: measured in GHz (gigahertz), determines how fast the CPU can execute instructions
  • Number of Cores: affects multitasking and overall processing power
  • Cache Size: affects performance by reducing memory access times

Examples

  • Intel Core i7
  • AMD Ryzen 9
  • Apple M1
