No. While a CPU is an example of a microprocessor, many microprocessors are not CPUs, but perform other tasks to aid the CPU. An example would be the GPU of a video card, or the DSP (Digital signal processor) of a modem or sound card.

A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in a sound card is responsible for processing audio signals in real-time. It handles tasks such as audio effects, mixing, and encoding/decoding, enabling high-quality sound playback and recording. By offloading these computational tasks from the main CPU, the DSP enhances performance and efficiency, allowing for more complex audio processing without impacting overall system performance.
A faster internal clock speed will improve the performance of the CPU.
Processor(CPU) does computations. Graphics card(GPU) does most of drawing(rendering). Sound card processes sound. RAM Memory stores data.
Proccessor (CPU), video card, PSU, Motherboard, Hard drive, Memory/RAM. the Network card and the sound card are normally integrated on the motherboard, but these are required too.
Yes, in order for a computer to work at all. A motherboard holds all the hardwares; e.g. CPU, video card, sound card, etc.. which is why it is called the "mother" board
Weight. Any variation that can affect performance should be considered. (Which is basically everything.) Including what program(s) are being run, and the differences in architecture to other CPU's you are comparing it to. The science behind the design of CPU's is too complex to ignore a feature. Branch prediction for instance is something that the average person knows nothing about, put it can strongly effect the performance of the CPU. (Though it is impossible to measure the exact speed up for a random program.)
It might not be your CPU at fault, maybe your other hardware can't keep up with your CPU and your CPU has to slow down for them. If you think that this is not the case, you can always go to your bios and overclock your CPU.
The CD ROM connects to the computer via a ribbon cable.
The performance of a CPU is least affected by its age, its size and weight. Performance is instead determined by model, clock speed and size of cache.
