Microprocessor

A microprocessor is the core component of a computer that acts as its brain. It processes instructions and data, performing calculations and making decisions to enable the device to function. Think of it as an extremely fast and efficient organizer that interprets what you want the computer to do—like opening an app or sending a document—and then carries out those actions. Microprocessors are found in many electronic devices, from computers and smartphones to washing machines, controlling their operations through a series of tiny, complex tasks executed at incredible speeds.
