The part of the computer that processes data is called the processor or processing unit. Older computers had a Central Processing Unit (CPU) . Modern machines often have more than one processing unit. The processor fetches and decodes the instructions that make up the program as well as doing the arithmetical operations.

What is the process a computer uses to covert data into information?

The computer uses a binary system of numbers that are sent and processed in the central processing unit. The CPU tells the computer what to do such as play a sound. Data & information are differentiated by humans, not the computers.If computer can process data, it becomes information for it,otherwise the entered data may not mean data to a computer. It is to the humans that how they enable and equip computer with the ability of processing entered input.However any input made to computer if comes out in any transformed new form, it is information,though it may not be precisely percievable to a human.It is the human brain one-time limited synthetics that enables the computer to follow his feeded instructional synthetic process to covert the input (data) to output (transformed data_termed 'information' by humans). Therefore we may say that ina a computer data is converted into information quite as the human brain synthetic processing methodologydictates.
