A Central Processing Unit (CPU), or sometimes just called processor, is a description of a class of logic machines that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. The term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s (Weik 1961). The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation has remained much the same.

Difference between coprocessors and main processor?
A coprocessor provides auxiliary functions or features that the main processor does not have. These might include floating point support or hardware encryption. A coprocessor is generally not usable without its main processor, whereas a processor may function in a crippled or less powerful form without a coprocessor. An example of a processor and a coprocessor pair would be the 80386 and the 80387.
