no, it's a piece of computing equipment. It is the computer, it's the part of the computer that sends information around (to and from the memory).
The microprocessor is a piece of hardware, not software. Windows 7 doesn't supply a microprocessor.
Typically, a software model of a microprocessor describes the microprocessor in a register transfer language (RTL). To test the software model, a set of test instructions, referred to as a "test case," is written in the machine language of the microprocessor, and a simulator simulates the execution of those instructions by the microprocessor. Software verification tools compare the results obtained from the simulation with the results that should be obtained if the microprocessor is functioning correctly. If the expected results do not match the actual results, an error exists in the design. In response, the software model may be modified in an attempt to rectify the identified error.
a microprocessor is hardware, it provides the physical mechanism (electronic circuitry) needed to run any software on a computeran operating system is software, it provides the logical mechanism (algorithms) to coordinate the running of all the software on a computerapplications (or apps) are software, they are coordinated by the operating system and run by the microprocessor to perform tasks useful to a human user of the computer

IP Converter is a piece of software that converts electrical signals into pneumatic pressure. The electrical current is usually controlled by a microprocessor.
Software is a digital replacement for a hardware solution. At the core, the microprocessor uses program instructions (software) to emulate results of hardware electronic circuitry. The short answer, it's why you can have a computer UNDER your desk or IN your pocket.
The lowest priority interrupt in the 8085 microprocessor is INTR, unless you also consider the software interrupts, RST 0 through RST 7, which are even lower.
It all depends on your definition of smarter. However, a microprocessor does not have any recognized intelligence; it only performs activity. Artificial intelligence is software that has various methods to make independent decisions about specific interactions with the environment. A microprocessor can exist without artificial intelligence, but artificial intelligence can not exist without a microprocessor to execute instructions.
If you can throw it across the room, it's hardware. The instruction set(s) is software. Example: Your child is hardware (don't throw him or her across the room). If you tell your kid to go to bed, that instruction is software.
A macro processor is software. Usually a part of a compiler or an assembler, used to program a computer.A microprocessor is hardware, one type of computer implementation.Very different things.The macro processor was first created in the 1950s and was used on large vacuum tube mainframe computers (long before the first microprocessor).
