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
