A central processing unit (CPU) is an important part of every computer. The CPU
sends signals to control the other parts of the computer, almost like how a brain
controls a body.
The CPU is an electronic machine that works on a list of computer things to do,
called instructions. It reads the list of instructions and runs (executes) each one in
order. A list of instructions that a CPU can run is a computer program.
The clock rate, or speed of a CPU's internal parts, is measured in hertz (Hz). Modern
processors often run so fast that gigahertz (GHz) is used instead. One GHz is
one billion cycles per second.
Most CPUs used in desktop (home) computers are microprocessors made by
either Intel or Advanced Micro Devices (usually shortened to AMD). Some other
companies that make CPUs are ARM, IBM, and Sun Microsystems. Most of their
CPUs are used in embedded systems for more specialized things, like in mobile
phones, cars, game consoles, or in the military.
WHAT IS PROCESSOR
A processor is an integrated electronic circuit that
performs the calculations that run a computer. A
processor performs arithmetical, logical,
input/output (I/O) and other basic instructions that
are passed from an operating system (OS). Most
other processes are dependent on the operations
of a processor.
LAND GRID ARRAY
“Land grid array” (LGA) consists of a socket
with pins that you place the processor on. PGA
(“pin grid array”), on the other hand, places
the pins on the processor, which you then
insert into a socket with appropriately placed
holes. In the modern computing era, Intel CPUs
use LGA sockets, while AMD CPUs use PGA.
PIN GRID ARRAY
A pin grid array (PGA) is a type of integrated
circuit packaging. In a PGA, the package is
square or rectangular, and the pins are
arranged in a regular array on the underside
of the package. ... PGAs allow for
more pins per integrated circuit than older
packages, such as dual in-line package.
