2. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

   The individual physical CPUs, called processor cores, can also be multithreaded to support CPU-level multithreading. [9] An IC that contains a CPU may also contain memory, peripheral interfaces, and other components of a computer; [10] such integrated devices are variously called microcontrollers or systems on a chip (SoC).

3. Processor (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_(computing)

   In computing and computer science, a processor or processing unit is an electrical component (digital circuit) that performs operations on an external data source, ...

4. CPU socket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_socket

   In computer hardware, a CPU socket or CPU slot contains one or more mechanical components providing mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows for placing and replacing the central processing unit (CPU) without soldering.

   Fujitsu (its ARM-based CPU used in top supercomputer, still also sells its SPARC-based servers) Hitachi (its own designs and ARM) Hygon Information Technology (x86-based) Loongson (MIPS-based) HiSilicon (acquired by Huawei), stopped making its ARM-based design; IBM (now only designs two architectures) Ingenic Semiconductor (MIPS-based)

6. 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.).

7. Computer hardware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_hardware

   Computer processors generate heat, and excessive heat impacts their performance and can harm the components. Many computer chips will automatically throttle their performance to avoid overheating. Computers also typically have mechanisms for dissipating excessive heat, such as air or liquid coolers for the CPU and GPU and heatsinks for other ...
