2. WHAT IS CPU
• A central processing unit, also called a
central processor, main processor or just
processor, is the electronic circuitry that
executes instructions comprising a
computer program. The CPU performs
basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and
input/output operations specified by the
instructions in the program.
3. WHERE IS THE CPU?
• In a computer, the CPU is found at the heart of the system, plugged into
the motherboard. You wouldn’t be able to see it if you took the side panel
off your desktop PC, as it will be hidden under a cooling fan – a CPU is a
powerful component and would get very hot without proper cooling.
• In a desktop PC, the CPU and cooler are designed to be easily removable.
This means replacing a processor is a relatively simple process. It doesn’t
mean a processor can be easily swapped for a more powerful model,
however, as the CPU will need to be compatible with the motherboard.
4. WHERE IS THE CPU
• Most of the time, if you’re upgrading to a
CPU that’s a year or two newer than your
current one, you’ll also need to fit a new
motherboard.
• In laptops, on the other hand, the CPU and
cooler are as good as impossible to remove
(and even harder to replace). It’s not possible
to change the motherboard either, so it’s best
to think of laptops as non-upgradable in this
regard.
5. HISTORY OF CPU
• The first commercial microprocessor,
the binary-coded decimal (BCD)
based Intel 4004, was released by Intel
in 1971. In March 1972, Intel
introduced a microprocessor with an
8-bit architecture, the 8008,
6. HISTORY OF CPU
• The Intel 8008 is an early byte-oriented
microprocessor designed by Computer
Terminal Corporation, implemented and
manufactured by Intel, and introduced
in April 1972. It is an 8-bit CPU with an
external 14-bit address bus that could
address 16 KB of memory.
7. INSIDE THE CPU
• At the hardware level, a CPU is
an integrated circuit, also known as
a chip. An integrated circuit "integrates"
millions or billions of tiny electrical parts,
arranging them into circuits and fitting
them all into a compact box.
8. TYPES OF CPU
• Microprocessor
• Microcontroller Processor
• Embedded Processor
• Digital Signal Processor
9. MICROPROCESSOR
• A microprocessor is a computer processor
where the data processing logic and
control is included on a single integrated
circuit, or a small number of integrated
circuits.
10. MICROCONTROLLER PROCESSOR
• A microcontroller is a special type
of CPU oriented chip that is usually
intended for use in embedded applications
driven by cost, power consumption and
size.
11. EMBEDDED PROCESSOR
• An embedded processor is a type of
microprocessor designed into a system to
control electrical and mechanical
functions.
12. DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
• A digital signal processor is a specialized
microprocessor chip, with its architecture
optimized for the operational needs of
digital signal processing.
13. WHO MANUFACTURES CPU
• There are many companies that make CPU
but here we will introduce some of the best
companies in the world.
1. Intel
2. AMD (Advanced Micro Devices)
3. Freescale
4. IBM (International Business Machines)
14. INTEL PROCESSOR
• Intel is the world's largest manufacturer of PC microprocessors and the
holder of the x86 processor architecture patent. released in 1971, was one
of the first microprocessors ever produced.
Model Primary use Clock Speed No of Transistors
Itanium II Server 1.3 GHz and up 410 million
Pentium 4 PC 1.4 GHz and up 42-55 million
Pentium III Xeon Server/Workstation 700 MHz and up 42-55 million

Duron 600 MHz and up 25 million
16. FREESCALE PROCESSORS
• Freescale Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Motorola, has a 50-year
history in microelectronics. As mentioned earlier many Apple
computers use Freescale processors. Freescale processors were also
an early favorite among companies that built larger, UNIX-based
computers.
17. IBM PROCESSOR
• IBM (International Business
Machines Corporation) Power is a
line of microprocessors designed and
sold by IBM for servers and
supercomputers.
• The first POWER processor was
designed at the end of the 1980's and
made its appearance in the RS6000
and AS400 servers.
