Processors! What are they?


The term processor is used conversely with the term central processing unit (CPU), although the CPU is not the only processor in a computer. The GPU (graphics processing unit) is the most notable example of it.


CENTRAL PROCESSING UNITS (CPU)

The ALU and control unit of a computer are combined into a single unit called the Central Processing Unit. The CPU is truly the "brain" of the computer because it combines the circuitry that generates all the control signals needed to execute an instruction with the circuitry that actually performs the operations called by the instructions. 
CPUs will perform most basic arithmetic, logic and I/O operations, as well as allocate commands for other chips and components running in computer.
Processors can be found in PCs, smartphones, tablets and other devices. The two main competitors in the processor market are Intel and AMD.

I/O Processors 

Some I/O devices can transmit a large amount of data in a short time. If the CPU had to process every character separately, much CPU time would be wasted. To avoid tying up the CPU for long periods of time on I/O, most of the computers have one or more specialized, low-cost I/O processors. Because the I/O is performed by these special processors, the CPU is available to spend most of its time on more difficult computations. The I/O processors can run in parallel with the CPU. In other words, while the CPU is busy in computing, the I/O processors can be doing I/O.

Arithmetic logic unit is the part of the computer where the actual processing takes place. ALU is capable of performing arithmetic, logical and data manipulation operations on binary numbers. The circuitry that performs these operations consists of logic circuits such as adders, subtracters, comparators, etc. Read More...
A digital computer is a general purpose digital system. A general-purpose digital computer is capable of executing various operations and in addition, can be instructed as to what specific sequence of operations it must perform.
The user of such a system can control the process by means of a program, that is, a set of instructions that specify the operations, operands and the sequence by which processing has to occur. The data processing task may be altered simply by specifying a new program with different instructions or specifying the instructions with different data. Read more...

NOKIA 6.1 PLUS

With a combination of smart partnerships with Google for the Android One branding and clever product decisions, the Nokia brand is, well, truly alive and kicking. If one thought that it was impossible for the Nokia brand to comeback, then that notion has been dispelled by HMD Global. It was facing some tuff competition Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and Honor, but they came up with this Nokia 6.1 as nice phone, it's design is what attracts everyone to it. http://www.gameranger.com/ IT'S FULL SPECIFICATIONS : NOTE : IF IMAGES ARE NOT CLEAR CLICK ON THEM TO VIEW CLEARLY.  PRICE : It's price may vary from region to region but you can check out here in this link 🖗 https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_in/nokia-6-plus I THINK I HAVE PROV

Control Unit of Processor

PROSSECERS The ALU and control unit of a computer are combined into a single unit called the Central Processing Unit. The CPU is truly the "brain" of the computer because it combines the circuitry that generates all the control signals needed to execute an instruction with the circuitry that actually performs the operations called by the instructions.  Now we will discuss about Control Unit but if you also want to know about Arithmetic logic unit you can check it out on my other blog. CONTROL UNIT A digital computer is a general purpose digital system. A general-purpose digital computer is capable of executing various operations and in addition, can be instructed as to what specific sequence of operations it must perform. The user of such a system can control the process by means of a program, that is, a set of instructions that specify the operations, operands and the sequence by which processing has to occur.
