The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that acts as its “control center.” The CPU, also referred to as the “central” or “main” processor, is a complex set of electronic circuitry that runs the machine’s operating system and apps. The CPU interprets, processes and executes instructions, most often from the hardware and software programs running on the device.

With the evolution of dual and quad core units, the processing time is quick, efficient, and powerful, allowing for optimal
device performance. Additionally, using a CPU allows for easy customization when designing a machine as it seamlessly integrates
with other hardware, such as graphics cards.
