Processor
• Central Processing Unit
(CPU), or sometimes just
called processor

• The CPU is the brains of

the computer.

• is similar to a calculator,
only much more powerful
and the main function of
the CPU is to perform
arithmetic and logical
operations on data taken
from memory or on
information entered
through some device,
such as a keyboard,

similar-clocked Pentiums due to smaller
L2 cache size and sometimes slower
bus speed.
