Best Answer

Yes, it does.

Each computer is designed for one specific processor, or maybe a group of closely related processors. The computer's manufacturer may chose to document a list of supported processors, as often there is a choice to be made between higher performance at higher cost, and lower performance at a more economical price. Other computer manufacturers may not document a choice of processors because they chose to support only one of several possible models, and others may chose to document only one processor because the hardware and software is designed to support exactly one model.

How would you describe the functions of CPU?

The function of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the heart of the computer. Everything the computer needs to do has to go through the CPU. The CPU tells the computer what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.


What is the purpose of the CPU in computer?

CPU stands for central processing unit. As the name implies, the CPU processes everything the computer does and handles everything that goes on in a computer. The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer since everything goes through the CPU first. The purpose of the CPU is to read machine language and do what it is told by it. The machine code are the directions on what the CPU should do, but the CPU is needed in order to read this code.


Why your computer is not responding after Computer Processor is removed and put back again?

When you install a new CPU (Central Processing Unit) on a computer, you will most probably have to reinstall your operative system. That does not, however, occur when you "remove and put back again" the same CPU. If that happened and the computer doesn't respond you better check for assistance as something has gone wrong.

You applied hot glue to your old CPU as part of a presentation display. If you clean it off will it still work?

No. Because of the Intricacy of a CPU, no matter where you applied the Glue, you were putting it on necessary computer parts. The glue will rip off some of the parts and the CPU will be rendered useless. Next time you have to present using a CPU, you should probably use one that you will not need anymore. Even if the CPU is from an older model computer, you can still use it to exeplify modern day CPU's.
