IS the CPU the temporary storage location for all the data and instructions the computer needs when it is running?
No. The CPU is NOT a storage device. It is where the computer does the "thinking" and actual data processing. In fact, the CPU IS the computer itself.
What is a input unit?
any unit that brings data into the computer.
What is purpose does a data path serve in computer?
data paths perform all of the arithmetic and central data processing operations in a computer. This is especially true in a CPU (central processing Unit) the brain of the computer and the Control Unit
What are unit electronic components of the computer that are used to process data?
System Unit
What are the two main components in a computer?
The two main components in a computer are the central processing unit (CPU), which acts as the "brain" of the computer by executing instructions and processing data, and the random access memory (RAM), which provides temporary storage for data and instructions that the CPU needs to access quickly.
The components that process data in a computer are where?
The components that process data are located in the system unit
What is computer networks frame?

System unit
What is a Pocket data unit?

Can you define what is a computer data?
computer data is the information which is being processed or one can say stored in the memory of the central processing unit.
What is the brain of the computer called?
The "computer" part. Humans have built computers with our understanding of cognitive science. Computers implement a processor, memory for temporary data storage (during processing, caching, etc), and a hard-drive for persistent data. A human brain can store data long term, process information, and temporarily hold small amounts of data for short times while processing the information (e.g. "Carry the 2...").
Is the word cache a fast central processing unit?
NO, a cache is a fast-access temporary data storage area (memory)
