CMOS is better than single MOSFETs because the complementary MOSFETs in CMOS always have one off and the other on, reducing the idle current to only leakage current and the output voltage exactly equal that of either the power or ground as there is no voltage drop across the MOSFET that is on.

With just one MOSFET the device draws current anytime it is in the on state, even if idle.

What is a CMOS processor?

CMOS is a type of material, not a specific type of processor. That is short for Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon. CMOS devices tend to use less power and tend to be faster than their older counterparts. So a CMOS processor is a processor made using the CMOS material. For instance the V20 chip is a 3rd party CMOS variation of Intel's 8088 CPU. The V20 is 10-20% faster and uses less power than the 8088.


Does CMOS play a major role in modern technology?

Yes, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices are essential to most modern digital electronic equipment. By making use of both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs in the same circuit power consumption can be minimized (i.e. only leakage current when idle as one type of MOSFET is always off when the other is on except for very brief periods when changing state) and reasonably fast switching speeds are possible. Most microprocessors and other complicated digital integrated circuits are implemented with CMOS circuitry (except for certain portions where switching speeds faster than can be achieved with CMOS without the power consumption of the CMOS circuits rising too much: e.g. ALUs). CMOS is also used in memory devices that must retain data even when the system is turned off, by using a small inexpensive battery that can power the idle CMOS memory for years without needing to be changed.
