Detailed explanation-1: -The CPU is the brain of a computer, containing all the circuitry needed to process input, store data, and output results. The CPU is constantly following instructions of computer programs that tell it which data to process and how to process it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The component of a computer system that controls the interpretation and execution of instructions. The CPU of a PC consists of a single microprocessor, while the CPU of a more powerful mainframe consists of multiple processing devices, and in some cases, hundreds of them.
Detailed explanation-3: -The CU of a CPU is like our brain’s thalamus. Both are responsible for receiving incoming instructions and telling other parts within the system (whether CPU or brain) how to respond.
