This is actually too complicated to fully explain. Depending on what the CPU is doing, it can work many different ways. Here is an overall sum: Information travels to its core processing center with small circuits and whatnot in the form of 1's and 0's (also known as the Binary Code). The Binary Code is the language to the computer as English is to us, so it is necessary that the information is in Binary. As this information is sent to the core processing center, it decodes the Binary stream sent to it to display graphics, pixels, and other information in text and pictures of what we see on the monitor, and this happens just as fast as we interpret what someone is saying to us in English.

Is it true mainlining boosts CPU performance by allowing the CPU to work on more than one processing stage at a time?

It is not true.


It seems that for best performance you could simply look at the chart and choose the fastest model in category why isnt this method a good way to choose a CPU?

CPU is the brain of computer and we know it must work accurately and fast.Not only the speed but it should also give the corect results to make our work easier so if we choose the fastest model in each category of CPU then it will work more faster than we desire.So it is the good method for choosing a CPU.


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.
