  2. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    A CPU cache [71] is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. A cache is a smaller, faster memory, closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations.

  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, usually memory or some other data stream. [1]

  4. Microprocessor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor

    A microprocessor is a computer processor for which the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs. The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU).

  5. 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]

  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. History of general-purpose CPUs - Wikipedia

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

    In theory, an optical computer's components could directly connect through a holographic or phased open-air switching system. This would provide a large increase in effective speed and design flexibility, and a large reduction in cost. Since a computer's connectors are also its most likely failure points, a busless system may be more reliable.
