    The document compares microprocessors and microcontrollers, noting that microprocessors are the central components of larger systems like PCs while microcontrollers have input/output components embedded within smaller circuits suited for devices like MP3 players and washing machines. Microcontrollers are also described as being more cost-effective, power efficient, and including memory components, making them simpler and cheaper than microprocessors despite operating at lower speeds.
