The CPU, or Central Processing Unit performs the calculations and logic functions of the computer. CPU's only perform the most basic of functions, such as adding the contents of a memory location to the contents of a CPU "register", or comparing the contents of one register to the contents of another register and "jump" on a specified condition such as "equal to", "greater than" or "less than". CPU's are also able to initiate transfer of large blocks of data, read or write data to/from peripheral devices, and in general, watch over system functions. Of course, this is an oversimplification of the power and function of the CPU, but it gives you an idea of what is going on. CPU's have the capacity to perform many low level functions that are enhanced when added together into an application. If done correctly, the entire process is transparent to the user and all you see is a well designed application. The heatsink and the cpu needs a fan to cool them off
What else can I help you with?
Do TV's have CPUs?
Yes most technology have cpus.
What are three factors you need to consider when selecting a new processor?
some factors that you need to consider.first the purpose you need that cpu.the cpus clock,the cpus fsb,the cpus socket to be compatible with your motherboard and the cpus l2 cache
Is there a dual processor motherboard for an AMD Phenom?
No. If you want dual CPUs from AMD, you need to get opteron CPUs.
What are the different types of CPUS?
Too many to even begin to list here, forget describing the architectures.
What are the types of CPUs?
csic
What is AMD x2?
AMDs 'dual core' CPUs, those that contain 2 CPU cores, as opposed to the 1 CPU core found in earlier AMD (and intel, VIA, cyrix etc) CPUs. Dual core CPUs have much better multitasking performance than traditional single core CPUs.
Are 0 CPUs upgradeable?
yes
Do digital watches have CPUs?
Yes.
How do operating systems handle Multi-core CPUs?
They are treated exactly like two separate CPUs. Any operating system that can use multiple CPUs can also use a processor with multiple internal cores, with no changes needed to the code.
A bus that run in sync with the CPU?
Front Side Bus (for older Intel CPUs). Hypertransport (for AMD) and CSI (for newer Intel CPUs)
Why are laptop CPUs slower than desktop CPUs?
Due to battery life and heat concerns, the cooling potential of a laptop CPU is slower than a desktop CPU.
Where can one find more information about Dell CPUs?
Dell does not manufacture CPUs themselves but rather use CPUs from big manufacturers like Intel and then put them in their computers. So simply check what CPU the Dell model has and then find information at the manufacturers website, usually Intel.
