Processor

The central processing unit (CPU), also called the central processor, main processor, or simply the processor, is the primary processor in a given computer. Its electronic circuits execute instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logical, control, and input-output (I/O) operations.

The performance or speed of a processor depends, among other things, on the clock frequency (usually measured in hertz) and the number of instructions per cycle (IPC),
