Introduction to Computer Processors
Computer processors, also known as central processing units (CPUs), are essential components that execute
instructions and manage tasks in computer systems. They play a crucial role in computing devices by performing
calculations, processing data, and controlling system functions efficiently.

The CPU acts as the computer's brain, interpreting and executing instructions from software programs. It features
multiple cores, integrated memory controllers, and advanced architectures to optimize performance and energy
efficiency.

Advancements in CPU design, from complex to reduced instruction set computing (CISC to RISC), have led to
significant improvements in processing power over time.

In summary, computer processors are vital for running software applications and handling computational tasks in
modern computing devices
