Data is usually stored on the computer's internal hard drive, or on an external hard drive or flash drive, etc. It is not stored on the Random Access Memory (RAM) which is volatile, and any data would be lost when the computer is switched off.

What receives data from CPU?

The main component that receives data from the CPU is the system memory (RAM), which temporarily stores data and instructions for quick access by the CPU. Other components that can receive data include input/output devices, such as hard drives, graphics cards, and network interfaces, which facilitate communication between the CPU and the external environment. Additionally, the motherboard's chipset manages data flow between the CPU and these components.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a hardware device that allows information to be stored temporarily.


What stores programs and dat that are not currently being used by the CPU?

The component that stores programs and data not currently being used by the CPU is called RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM temporarily holds data and instructions that the CPU may need for quick access while executing tasks. When the system is powered off or when programs are closed, data in RAM is lost, as it is volatile memory. For long-term storage, data is saved on non-volatile storage devices like hard drives or SSDs.

Where data is stored in CPU?

No data is stored in the CPU. The CPU only performs arithmetic and logical operations. However, the CPU is provided with a small memory unit called cache, which rapidly feeds the CPU with data to calculate.

Can you store data in the CPU for a long time?

Hmmm, a CPU (processor) stores no data. RAM or Memory can store data as long as the computer is ON and the Hard Drive can store data indefinately (forever).
