Are you asking "What are the advantages of having a CPU"?
CPU is an acronym for Central Processing Unit and is outdated being derived from original mainframe computers dedicating a lot of rack space for an actual "unit" comprised of boatloads of circuit boards, some going back to the age of vacuum tubes.
Although today, we still say "CPU", more correctly, it's called the microprocessor; the equivalent of a rack full of components in a stamp sized area.
On to the question: What are the advantages? Well first and foremost, the microprocessor (or MPU) is the "brains" of any digital computer including all the PC's, Macs, Amigas, and even simple Video Games.
Simply put, your desktop PC will not, and cannot run without the CPU so I guess the simple answer to the question is "The advantage(s) of the CPU are that it basically "runs" the computer, executes all of the operating system software as well as all user applications like Word, Excel, games, and any other operating system et.al. like Unix, Linux, OS2, assembler, everything.
Short answer: "The advantage of (a) CPU is it runs the software which makes a computer actually DO something."
Of course, there are several other subsystems working with the CPU to make the system work together; like graphic and sound hardware, memory for the CPU to "remember things" and store data as it computes as well as other hardware to use, and various storage devices to store data when power to the main memory is shut off causing it to "forget" everything.
But the CPU is the bad boy which coordinates, and does most of the "grunt work" necessary to make a computer a useful device.

Advantage of using a CPU register over memory locations?
CPU register is faster than memory loacations
What is the main advantage of multiprogramming?
Multiprogramming increases CPU utilization by organizing jobs so that the CPU always has a job to execute.
3 What is the main advantage of multiprogramming?
Answer:Multiprogramming makes ef?cient use of the CPU by overlapping thedemands for the CPU and its I/O devices from various users. Itattempts to increase CPU utilization by always having something for the CPU to execute
What is the advantage of using a CPU register for temporary data storage over using a memory location?
Simple answer - speed. By using the CPU register, the information is kept "local" to the CPU. By storing a value in a memory location, a lookup has to be performed to retrieve it.
Does it matter if I store the CPU upright or on its side?
No, it should not affect it. Some computers have the CPU placed upright, while others fasten it on its side. Neither one has an advantage over the other.
What is register and advantages of register?
registers are a small high-speed memory inside CPU. one advantage of using them is increase in CPU speed because of their high access rate in comparison by ram.
What is the advantage of DMA transfer?
DMA allows devices to communicate with each other directly, instead of relying on the CPU to manage the transfers. This frees the CPU up to do other tasks, and increases system performance.
What is Advantage of video card?
A dedicated video card takes the processing away from the CPU, freeing up processor time for other activities.
What is a calibar used for in the US?
A calibar is an operating system for a CPU. It is currently being developed in the United Kingdom, not the United State. One advantage of the calibar may be that it will eliminate the need for a mouse or a cursor to navigate around one's CPU's screen.
What is CPU protection?
CPU protection is one who protect the CPU. and the one who destroy the CPU also is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU.
What are advantages and disadvantages of multiprocessing?
advantage 1.higher performance due to parallel processing. 2.if one CPU get failed other CPU are used to do that CPUs job. disadvantage 1.complex OS is required. 2.large main memory requried. 3.very expensive.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of preemptive scheduling algorithm?
The main advantage is that they ensure fairness to all jobs, regardless of its priority and also provide quick response time depending on the CPU time the job needs. The main disadvantage is that it provides indefinite postponement to process.
