Microprocessors


Introduction to Processors

The brain of the PC is the processor or Central Processing Unit (CPU).The CPU performs the system's calculating and processing,except for special math-intensive processing in systems that have a math coprocessing unit chip.One of the most common ways to describe a processor is by the size of the processor's data bus and address bus.The processor bus discussed most often is the data bus--used to send and receive data.
