Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• The brain of the computer, responsible for executing instructions.
• Fetches, decodes, and executes instructions.
• Controls other components.
• Example: Intel Core i7, AMD Ryzen.
Motherboard
The main circuit board that connects all components.
Key Features:
Houses the CPU, RAM, and expansion slots.
Provides communication pathways via buses.
Components:
Chipset: Manages data transfer between components.
Sockets: Hold the CPU and other processors in place.
Ports: Provide connections for peripherals, such as USB and audio.
Random Access Memory (RAM)-
Temporary storage used for data currently being
processed.
Volatile memory (loses data when powered off).
