The document discusses the main components of a computer system unit. It describes how the system unit is the case that contains the core electronics components to process data. The motherboard is the main circuit board that other components like the CPU are attached to. The CPU, or processor, interprets and carries out instructions to manage computer operations. Processors can have multiple cores on a single chip to improve computing power. The control unit directs the processor to carry out instructions. Memory is also a core component referenced but not described in detail.

CONTENT THE SYSTEM UNIT Isa case that contains electronics components of the computer used to process data. Available in many shape and size. Chassis is the case of the system unit, is made from metal or plastic and protect the internal electronic component from damage. EXAMPLE Personal Computers Keyboards Mouse Monitor printer Notebook Computers The keyboard and the pointing device are on the top of the system unit. Tablet PC PDA The motherboard Or known as system board, is the main circuit board of system unit. Many electronic components attached to the motherboard. PROCESSOR Central Processing Unit ( CPU ) Interprets and carries out the basic instruction that operate a computer. Significantly impacts overall computing power and manages most of a computer operation. Mainframes and supercomputers, the various function is performed by the processor that extend over many separate chips and often multiple circuit board. Personal computer all function of the processor are on single chip. TYPES OF PROCESSOR Multi-core processor A single chips with two or more separate processor. Dual-core processor A chip that contains two separate processor Quad-core processor A chip that with four separate processor THE CONTROL UNIT Is the component of the processor that directs and coordinates most of the operation in the computing. it interprets each instruction issued by a program and then initiates the appropriates action to carry out the instruction.
