CPU
CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the primary component of a computer that performs most of the processing inside the system. It interprets and executes instructions from programs, carrying out arithmetic, logic, control, and input/output operations specified by the instructions. The CPU is often referred to as the “brain” of the computer.
Examples of CPUs include:
- Intel Core i9
- AMD Ryzen 9
- Apple M1
Cases where CPU performance is critical:
- Gaming: High-performance CPUs improve frame rates and responsiveness.
- Video Editing: Powerful CPUs handle rendering and processing of large video files efficiently.
- Data Analysis: Advanced CPUs process complex calculations and large datasets quickly.
