Forum Topic : What is CPU? | |
Submitted by John on 23/06/2009 - 06:13 PM | |
CPU is an acronym that stands for Central Processing Unit. The central processing unit is responsible for performing all of the mathematical calculations that are required for a computer to function properly. Because a computer cannot function without the CPU (which may also be referred to as the central processor or just the processor), it is not uncommon to hear people refer to the CPU as the "brains" of a computer. |
