The CPU is basically the brain of a computer. It sits in the motherboard of a computer as a central unit. All programs and instructions must go through the system unit before they are executed. When a function is called upon, the CPU pulls it from the Random Access Memory (RAM) and any other hard ware in order to process it.
The CPU then reads the instructions associated to the task before sending it back to the RAM. The data travels through the system bus and this is guided by the CPU Finally, the CPU makes sure the data gets to its destination in the correct order.
The CPU handles the data until when it is no longer needed or when the program is closed.
