What is aCPU?
A Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that executes
instructions and processes data. Often referred to as the "brain" of the computer, the
CPU performs essential tasks such as arithmetic calculations, logical operations, and
data management. It interprets and executes program instructions, enabling the
computer to perform a wide range of functions. It interprets and executes program
instructions, enabling the computer to perform a wide range of functions.
Modern CPUs are typically composed of multiple cores, allowing them to handle
multiple tasks simultaneously, thereby enhancing performance. They also include
components like the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), which performs arithmetic and
logical operations, and the Control Unit (CU), which directs the operation of the
processor.

The back panel of a CPU is where you'll find various ports and connectors labeled for
easy identification. These labels include USB ports, audio jacks, HDMI ports,
Ethernet ports, and more. These labels make it convenient to connect peripheral
devices like keyboards, mice, monitors, and speakers.
An optical outport transmits
only digital audio signals
using light through a fiber
optic cable, while a DVI port
transmits only digital video
signals, meaning it carries
no audio data at all.
