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.

Where is data processed in the computer?
a circuit board The CPU or (central processing unit).
Difference between logical database and physical database?
The logical database is how the data is percieved in the tables, the way the data is actually stored on the storage medium is the physical view of the database.
What is the difference between an instance data field and static data field?
Static data field - the field is set at the start of the program (if creating a program) and can not be changed, its value will be constant. Instance data field - can be manipulated by the user, so that its value can be stored: for example you have a data field storing how many hours a person can work in one day, the field will be static as there are always 24h in a day and that can not change. If you have a second data field storing how many hours a certain employee worked that field will be an instance data field as its values can differ.
How does a thread work in a CPU?
A thread in a CPU is a line of information that the CPU must process. You can look at the threads in your computer by hitting ctrl+alt+Del and going into the process tab.
What is a raster and vector?
RasterIn Geographic Information Systems, a grid square Raster data are spatial data expressed as a matrix of cells, with spatial order indicated in the ordering of the cells. A raster map is a map stored as a regular array of cells; a raster scanner records an image by breaking it into pixels. Raster to vector conversion consists of changing an image made up of cells (rasters) into one made up of lines and polygons.Vector data provide for high precision in representing the location of features. vector data can be used to define the location of a point, a line, and an area. A point is represented by a simple pair of coordinates.- Vector Data model uses objects to represent and organize spatial features.- The geometry (spatial data) of a feature is stored as an attribute along with other attributes in a record.
What is the most suitable device to stored data?
cpu
Is RAM stored directly on the CPU?
No. RAM is a type of memory, not data.
Is RAM stored directly on CPU?
No. RAM is a type of memory, not data.
What is the meaning of buffering an operating system?
Refers to buffering:as reading and writing data from hdd takes long time.so to improve the speed for data processing the data next required by processor is stored is cache memory or CPU register.for e.g. to cut certain line from text file to copy into another file.cut data get stored in to buffer (CPU register) to get back stored into another file.
Does data use the CPU?
The CPU processes data, so data would be using the CPU.
What kind of information is stored inside the computer?
The specific term is "input data". The general term "data" can refer to "input data", "output data", "stored data" inside the computer, the data being processed by the computer's CPU, etc.
Where the constantly needed data is stored?
Constantly needed data is stored in RAM, and depending on the system and the CPU used, it may be stored in cache memory. Cache memory is a special, high-speed type of RAM. It is more expensive and uses more current than DRAM, but it is used where speed is critical. Cache memory is generally inside of the CPU these days.
Do you lose saved programs when changing CPU?
No. Changing a CPU is very similar to changing a ram chip, and neither should cause any loss of data or programs stored on the hard drive.
Which component of the CPU reads data and instructions stored on a floppy disk?
The floppy drive is what actually does the reading. The information is then sent to the central processor unit (CPU) on the motherboard where it is translated. There is no specific part of a CPU dedicated to floppy drive input.
What is the abbreviation for the place in the computer where the programs and data the computer is currently using are temporarily stored?
That place is 'random access memory' - or RAM.
How important is a CPU in terms of memory?
Although memory and CPUs are linked together very closely, a CPU is only important to memory when the memory is active. It is the CPU that writes to and reads from memory (or other devices that are under the control of the CPU). When the memory is idle, its only function is to retain data ready for it to be written over or read. In almost all cases. memory can do this without any intervention by a CPU. In volatile memory, a power supply needs to be provided to retain the data. Non-volatile memory on the other hand will stored data without power. An example of this kind of memory is a USB drive that can be unplugged from a USB port and retain all data without needing either a power supply or a CPU. Memory in fact is rather more important to the CPU than the other way round. The CPU operates as directed by a program that is stored in memory. Without memory, a CPU will not have a program to run so will not be able to fucntion.
Who is the father of CPU?
John von Neumann in the 1940's described the idea of a computer architecture with a CPU (central processing unit) executing computer instructions from the same memory that also stored computer data.
