What are the components of a central processing unit?

Answer 1

A Central Processing Unit, or CPU has three main components,

# The Arithmetic and Logic Unit, or ALU, which performs all of the calculations. # The Control Unit, which controls the flow of data around the computer by sending out control signals. # Memory, which is used to store data.

Answer 2

Two components of a Central Processing Unit are : 1) ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) which performs the arithmetic and the logical operations and 2) CU (Control Unit) which decodes and executes the instructions into a series of signals . Another component is the cache which acts as a high speed memory.

Answer 3

The central processing unit or CPU has many components. Chief would be the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) which performs mathematical and logical operations, the control unit (CU) manages the different components of the unit and finally the cache, which serves as the memory unit.
