The primary advantage of using transistors in the second generation of computers was a significant reduction in size, heat generation, and power consumption.
The market leaders in terms of speed and quality for computer microprocessors are Intel and AMD.

The control unit (CU) in a CPU is responsible for retrieving and decoding instructions, generating control signals, and executing instructions.
The CPU performs functions such as arithmetic, logical operations, and control operations, but it does not perform data storage.

Input/Output (I/O) operations are NOT a function performed by a CPU, as they are handled by separate I/O devices.
Cache memory is a component of the CPU, but a keyboard is NOT a component of the CPU.
