The processor is the brain of the computer. It also is know as the CPU or central processing unit. Processors are silicon chips that perform mathematical equations and coordinate all the hardware in the computer. It is one of the most important parts of any PC. There are two main processor used in our country. They are Intel and AMD. These two kinds of processors are the most used in PC’s today.
Intel has been making processors for most of the computer age, which you can see in our timeline. They make high-performance processors such as the Pentium 4. AMD also has high-performance processors, but they are sold considerably cheaper so people can afford them.
In PCs, the CPU isn’t the only processor. There are also coprocessors on the video card, sound, and many other parts of your computer. These coprocessors take stress off the main processor and make things a lot faster. Taking burden of the main processor makes the processor last longer and will save you a lot of time and hassle.
