What is the difference between process and processor?

Answer 1

In computing, a process is a running instance of a program, including all variables and other state. A multitasking operating system switches between processes to give the appearance of simultaneous execution, though in fact only one process can be executing at once per CPU core. A process is the active element in a computer. Terminals, files, and other I/O devices communicate with each other through processes. Thus, network communications is interprocess communications (that is, communication between processes). while As the name indicates, a processor is a complex logic circuitry, that can process instructions which are written to make a computer perform a particular task. It is also referred as a 'Central Processing Unit'. When integrated on a single integrated chip or IC (microchip or logic chip) with all the logic circuitry it is termed as a 'microprocessor'. Normally microprocessor is called as a single chip computer, which is capable of performing arithmetic and logic operations, which make use of registers for storage

Answer 2

Process is a program under execution while processor is the hardware that execute the program
