    The central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output operations. The CPU refers to a processor, specifically its processing unit and control unit, which distinguishes the core computing elements from external components like memory and input/output circuitry. The term CPU has been used in the computer industry since at least the early 1960s.

    central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out

    the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control
    and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions. The term has been used in the
    computer industry at least since the early 1960s.[1] Traditionally, the term "CPU" refers to a processor,
    more specifically to its processing unit and control unit (CU), distinguishing these core elements of a
    computer from external components such as main memoryand I/O circuitry
