Microprocessors mainly changed computers by making them faster and smaller. In the past, the central processing unit was a cabinet full of circuit boards. Today, multiple central processing units are contained in one single chip and fit onto a single circuit board. This also makes computers smaller since millions of transistors and other components are all on a single die with all the components near each other.
