A Central Processing Unit (CPU) is a chip‚ containing a microprocessor‚ at the heart of most every modern computing electronic. A microprocessor is a small integrated circuit or chip‚ comprised of silicon and transistors‚ which interprets electrical impulses‚ performs operations on the electrical impulses‚ and sends the impulses to another device. The transistors are simple switches that turn on and off‚ allowing the electrical impulses through when on or open ’. Microprocessors are very small
