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).

What stores the data that the CPU actively uses?

The CPU registers. If the data is too large to physically store in a register, the register stores the memory address containing the data instead (usually a RAM address but could be any address in the physical address space, including ROM and graphic memory). On a 32-bit system, data registers need to be at least 32-bits long in order to store memory addresses.


Where will the CPU store data for easy access and quick retrieval during these computations?

CPU's will have a number of small local data storage points called "registers". These registers only hold small amounts of data and provide the fastest possible access.

What is bus interconnection?

Bus interconnection is important component of computer: architecture. It is a communication channel. It connects various components of computer to communicate with each other. The instruction (I) bus allows communication between the CPU and memory. It carries to the CPU the program instruction words to be operated on by the CPU from memory or returns instructions to memory. The I bus is controlled by the CPU. It is capable of sending or receiving data while the operand(O) bus is receiving or sending data at the same time, but only in one direction at a time. Operand (O) Bus The operand (O) bus allows communication between the CPU and memory or the CPU and an I/O Controller (IOC). The CPU controls the operation in both cases. The O bus is capable of sending or receiving data, while the I bus is receiving or sending data at the same time, but only in one direction at a time. The direction of the data depends on whether the CPU is reading data from memory or data is being written back into memory.


Definition of internal register?

It's a physical memory location in the CPU that allows quick data manipulation - it's like a post-it note to your desktop - meant for small bits of data manipulation very quickly, not heavy long amounts of data like a physical ledger's spreadsheet. In general, the more registers there are in a CPU, the faster it can handle data; external data pulls are not required for simple procedures.

What is the term for very fast memory used to store data or instructions between the CPU and regular memory?

Very fast memory used to store data or instructions between the CPU and regular memory is called cache.


How does cache work?

Cache memory is a place for the CPU to store important data but still have quick access to it. The cache acts as a middleman, providing data to the CPU at full speed while it is obtaining data from the SDRAM.

Does data use the CPU?

The CPU processes data, so data would be using the CPU.


What is the storage capacity of CPU?

CPU's or central processing units do not actually store data. There is a minimal amount of data on board but the storage takes place on the hard and solid state drives.

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.
