there is only 1 processing device the CPU.......
The CPU IS the computers processing unit as CPU stands for "Central Processing Unit"
An instruction is a command to the CPU to perform one processing function on one or two data inputs.
Yes, the CPU itself is a processing device, it is the "brain" of the computer. CPU = Central *Processing* Unit
The central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is typically composed of one or more processors with one or more processing cores. For example, a quad core CPU typically has two independent processors with two cores each.
central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU)
data paths perform all of the arithmetic and central data processing operations in a computer. This is especially true in a CPU (central processing Unit) the brain of the computer and the Control Unit
Central processioning unit.
Excuse the previous answer as it was completely incorrect - CPU stands for Central Processing Unit.
In general when speaking of computer hardware it is the CPU (central processing unit) also called the processor. As a whole unit though, it is a combination of the CPU, the Motherboard, RAM, and the operating system.
The processing performance that is affected by the number of processing paths is called cores. Processing, broadly defined, is the manipulation of data within a computer.
