Which computer component is called the brain of a computer?

Answer 1

Greetings,

The part of the computer that does the "thinking" (doing the calculations) is the Processor/CPU ((Central Processing Unit))

And the part of the computer that does the "remembering" is the harddrive


You have two more that I can think of: RAM ((Random Access Memory)) and GPU ((Graphical Processing Unit))

I will try to make those two simple:

RAM is the working memory of the computer because it is much faster to get data from the RAM then the Harddrive (RAM is 100'000 faster then a Harddrive! o.O)

And the GPU is basically just a processor, just for working on sending pictures to your screen (So that the CPU can work on other things instead :) )

I hope this answered most of your questions! :)

Answer 2

The main components of the computer are the keyboard, monitor, and the hard drive. There is also a mouse with most computers. The hard drive houses the CPU or Central Processing Unit that is vital to all computers.

Answer 3

The "main brain" of a computer is usally known as the CPU or the Processor(s) but really if you think about it a brain can compute and store so really the "main brain" would be the CPU and a harddrive or other storage device

Answer 4

Main part inside computer is a motherboard, also called a mainboard. What kind of processor, or RAM, or graphic card, or HDD you can use is determined by what kind of motherboard you have. There are many a lot of integrated circuits on motherboards, and many sockets and connectors: CPU socket, RAM (DIMM or SO-DIMM) sockets, power connectors, SATA or/and ATA connectors, front panel connectors, PCI slots and/or PCI-E slots, and others.

Some most popular manufacturers of mainboard are ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Foxconn. Intel motherboard are manufactured by Foxconn. ASRock is a subsidiary of ASUS.

Answer 5

The Central Processing Unit (CPU), also called the "processor" or "chipset."

Answer 6

the CPU or Central Processing unit is generally considered the brain of the computer

Answer 7

The CPU or Central Processing Unit is commonly referred to as the "brain" of the computer and handles all of the main computing tasks of the computer.
