A processor is a chip that is the heart of our system that resides in our motherboard, it actually takes input from the user through the input device and gives output to the user through an appropriate device.
How does the processor work?
- Consider a processor that is residing in your pc.
- Assume that you are going to do some calculations in your pc.
- When you try to add any two numbers, first you try to give the input through keyboard and clicks by mouse these are the input devices.
- This input will be read by the processor and it did the calculations through cores and the calculations will be queued by the threads in the processor.
- After the calculations, the output will be displayed through the output device(display).
What are the functions of processors?
- fetch
- decode
- execute
- output
Fetch- The processor fetches the input instructions from the temporary memory RAM.
Decode - This is the major process for executing the instructions it is because that the input which we are giving is not understandable to the Processor or CPU.So to process the instructions, it decodes the input fetched from the user to machine language (bytes).
Execute - Processor executes the instructions or task given by the user with the help of cores and threads.
Output- That the executed output will be written back to the output device by human-understandable language.
What are the brands which are manufacturing processors?
Currently, two brands are the most popular and the only brands to build Processor or CPU for pc which is
- Intel
- AMD
How do I find that my processor is Working fast enough?
- Your processor speed will depend upon the Clock speed which is given by the brand.
- Your Clock speed will define how faster the processor will execute the instructions.
- If your processor is overclockable you can also overclock it boost the performance of the processor.
