What is Central Processing Unit (CPU)?
Sometimes we refer to the CPU as the system box or brain. It is the computer chip that does all of the processing for the computer. Inside this tiny chip are millions of transistors (electrical switches) that are connected so they can carry out mathematical calculations. Everything a computer does is essentially a mathematical calculation.
