The computer's processor consists of what parts?

Answer 1

Essentially, a computer has... a motherboard (the 'heart' of the machine), a hard drive (permanent storage), RAM (temporary storage), a keyboard (for input), a screen (output - for the user's benefit)

Answer 2

The term "memory" is somewhat ambiguous; it can refer to many different parts of the PC because there are so many different kinds of memory that a PC uses. However, when used by itself, "memory" usually refers to the main system memory, which holds the instructions that the processor executes and the data that those instructions work with.

Now if you are refering to system memory then the computer is made up of ROM(read only memory), RAM(random access memory) and cache memory.

Memory in a computer is in the form of RAM and the current types of RAM technology used in computer systems is referred to as DDR2(Double Data Rate) RAM. However information stored in the RAM is volatile.

Now the purpose of cache memory is to speed up a computer while keeping its price low. There are usually two levels of cache in the processor of a computer; these are Level 1 cache and Level 2 cache. Data that are going to be worked with are transferred from the RAM to the cache which means that when a program is being executed by the CPU, the latter will look for information in the cache and not in the RAm.

The BIOS is stored in a component called the Flash ROM and information stored in ROm is stored there permanently as compared to RAM which is volatile. There are several types of ROM memory: PROM, EPROM, EAPROM and EEPROM.

Answer 3

Cpu is made of an arithmetic and logic unit(alu) as well as control unit(cu).ALU performs all the arithmatic and logical functions whereas control unit holds the control that is decides the flow of control.Moreover, CPU contains various registers for storing information and data during processing
