COMPONENTS OF CPU
--------------------------------------------Central Processing Unit---------------------------------------------
Computer Components:-
1.Central Processing Unit.
2.CPU Characteristics.
3.Other Components of a Computer.
THE BRAIN :-
- Central Processing Unit: The “brains” of the computer, which performs the primary
- Some computations may be offloaded to other parts of the computer, but the CPU remains the central area of computation.
- Each modern CPU consists of hundreds of millions of individual switches, each switch physically constructed as a transistor, with only two states: on or off.
- Recent CPU’s in mainstream PC’s are multiple-core, which means two or more CPU units on the same chip.
- Multiple core computers are most efficient when the software is able to support parallel computing, dividing tasks up to run separately on each core .
PC CPU’s are organized
around a very basic
instruction set called x86
that dates all the way back
prior to the very first IBM
PC in the early 80’s
