CPU is neither an input device nor an output device. It is the central processing unit. Unit which takes inputs from input devices like keyboard, mouse, sound input etc. does the processing as per the application running on the machine and gives an output to output devices like screen display, a printer or sound output.

More detailed explanation:
Computers or computing devices can been seen to have 3 major categories of components:
1. Input devices - These allow users to interact with the computer by accepting input - example: Keyboard, mice, microphone, joystick, track ball, touch pad, etc
2. Central Processing Unit (or CPU) - does computation or processing on the user input
3. Output devices - These allows the users a mechanism to obtain the output from the computer: example: Monitor, printer, plotter, etc
There are other components to a computer as well such as storage and networking etc.

Are keyboard CPU and modem output devices?
A keyboard is an input device. A modem is both an input and an output device. A CPU is the central processor and is connected to both input and output devices but is itself neither.
What sends data to the CPU?
Through buses.
How input device transfers data to the CPU?
Every input device attached to the motherboard bus lines has a direct line of communication with the CPU. These lines are known as interrupt request lines (IRQs) which can be prioritised. By signalling the CPU that an input is pending, the CPU can alert the operating system to deal with the request, which will then be prioritised accordingly.
What device of the CPU manages all activities inside the CPU itself?
Input/Output (I/O) Unit
The type of keyboard is input device so what is the type of CPU?

What are the difference between input device and input media?
Your input device, for example a mouse, is connected to your input medium, your computer. an input device is a device that is used to input or helps to enter data into the computer and an input medium is where the input device is detected e.g the slots
What type of device is celeron chip is it a input output processing are storage device?

Is a CPU an output or an input device?
A CPU is a central processing unit. It is neither an input nor an output device, but it is usually connected to both kinds of devices. An input device would be a keyboard or a mouse. And output device would be a printer, a hard or floppy drive, or a memory chip in a thumb drive.
What are the different pats of the computer?
A computer generally has four major components: Input device, Output device, Storage, CPU
What are the 2 parts that a computers system made up of?
