    • According to 5 sources
    A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer. [1][2] Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) ope...
    The CPU (central processing unit) is the brain of your computer, processing instructions from programs and components. Modern CPUs use billions of microscopic transistors to interpret binary signals, enabling complex tasks at high speeds.
    A central processing unit (CPU) is the primary functional component of a computer. The CPU is an assemblage of electronic circuitry that run a computer’s operating system and apps and manage a variety of other computer operations. A CPU is, essentially, the active brain of the computer.
    The central processing unit, also known as a CPU, processor, microprocessor, or computer processor, is a small yet crucial piece of hardware found in any computing device, including desktops, smartphones, tablets, and TVs.
    Alternately called a processor, central processor, or microprocessor, the CPU (pronounced sea-pea-you) is the central processing unit of the computer. A computer's CPU handles all instructions it receives from hardware and software running on the computer.
