What is the difference between microprocessors and CPUs?

Difference Between Microprocessors and CPUsAll CPUs are microprocessors. All microprocessors are not CPUs. CPU stands for "Central Processing Unit" but it is not the only microprocessor in a modern computer system. Others include the GPU (graphics), Northbridge (memory and bus control), Southbridge (ATA bus control), and a multitude of other small processors for tasks such as controlling the read-heads in a hard drive, how to process sound, and other non-trivial tasks. Another AnswerThe CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the core of any computer, while the microprocessor refers to the whole functional chip that is inserted into a motherboard. The CPU is the sub architecture of the microprocessor that interprets the program instructions and cascade triggers the sub-functions of each instruction.


What is the major difference between TV and CPU?

There are lots of "major differences", as they are totally dissimilar devices with different purposes. For one, televisions are typically very large, as they must have a screen large enough to be viewable. CPUs and other microprocessors are much smaller, usually under two inches across.


Which is advanced microcontroller or micro processor..?

An advanced microprocessor is an advanced CPU, such as the Intel i3/i5/i7 CPUs. Because the CPUs keep getting thinner and thinner and smaller and smaller, they call them microprocessors, because of their size. Hope this helped! SeanHolshouser


Why does every computer have a CPU?

Microprocessors makes things easier so that you don't have to hard-code the logic directly. (which up until the invention of integrated circuits and the microprocessor everything was hard-wired) As CPUs are multipurpose microprocessors, they are able to perform a wide variety of tasks, but fall short in performance if you expect it to render graphics.


Is the CPU the same as a microprocessor?

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.


Do TV's have CPUs?

Yes most technology have cpus.


How much does a CPU weigh?

CPUs usually weight between 100-200 grams.


What are the key differences between a GPU and a CPU, and how do these differences impact their respective performances in computing tasks?

A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is specialized for handling graphics and parallel processing tasks, while a CPU (Central Processing Unit) is more versatile and handles general computing tasks. The key difference is that GPUs have many more cores and are optimized for parallel processing, making them faster for tasks that can be divided into smaller parts and processed simultaneously. This allows GPUs to excel in tasks like rendering graphics, machine learning, and scientific simulations. CPUs, on the other hand, are better suited for sequential tasks and handling a wide variety of tasks efficiently. In summary, the differences in design and specialization between GPUs and CPUs impact their performance in computing tasks, with GPUs excelling in parallel processing tasks and CPUs being more versatile for general computing.


What is system bus?

System bus speed in microprocessors is the speed at which a processor sends/receives data from the motherboard's memory controller. It is also called the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed in the case of Intel CPUs.


Why are laptop CPUs slower than desktop CPUs?

CPUs are designed especially for Laptops. They will shut off portions of themselves when not in use.


How do you assemble or disassemble CPU?

In early computers that were made with vacuum tubes, transistors, or simple integrated circuit chips you could do this. However since the development of the microprocessor this has become impossible, as the CPU is entirely inside one integrated circuit chip.In modern microprocessors the CPU is actually only a tiny part of that microprocessor chip, sometimes less than 1/10th of the circuits on the chip which now typically includes: memory management, input/output devices, ADCs, DACs, etc. Also multicore microprocessors contain several independent CPUs on the one chip (as many as 16 CPUs in some chips).


What are three factors you need to consider when selecting a new processor?

some factors that you need to consider.first the purpose you need that cpu.the cpus clock,the cpus fsb,the cpus socket to be compatible with your motherboard and the cpus l2 cache
