  2. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer. [1] [2] Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations.

  6. Computer hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_hardware

    PDP-11 CPU board. Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), motherboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, and computer case. It includes external devices such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers. [1] [2]

  7. Control unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_unit

    The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor. A CU typically uses a binary decoder to convert coded instructions into timing and control signals that direct the operation of the other units (memory, arithmetic logic unit and input and output devices, etc.).

  8. List of Intel processors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_processors

    Intel Haswell Core i7-4771 CPU, sitting atop its original packaging that contains an OEM fan-cooled heatsink. This generational list of Intel processors attempts to present all of Intel's processors from the 4-bit 4004 (1971) to the present high-end offerings. Concise technical data is given for each product.

  9. History of general-purpose CPUs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_general-purpose...

    In a clockless CPU, components can run at different speeds. In a clocked CPU, the clock can go no faster than the worst-case performance of the slowest stage. In a clockless CPU, when a stage finishes faster than normal, the next stage can immediately take the results rather than waiting for the next clock tick.
