The document discusses how computers process data. It explains that data are raw facts while information is meaningful data. Computers represent data using binary numbers for simplicity and accuracy. The CPU, which contains a control unit and arithmetic logic unit, processes data. The control unit directs data flow while the ALU performs calculations. RAM and ROM are types of memory that differ in volatility and speed of access. Processor speed and number of transistors impact processing power. Major CPU manufacturers include Intel, Motorola, and AMD.
