CHOOSING A CPU AND RAM
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. There can be several processors in a
computer, but one of them is the central one – the CPU.
The reason the CPU is called a processor is because it
can work with data. And it has two important jobs: it can
do calculations; it can move data. The CPU is very fast
at doing both jobs. The faster the CPU can do
calculations and move data, the faster we say the PC is.
The CPU is physically quite small. At its core is an
electronic circuit (called a die), which is no bigger than
your little fingernail.
If you happen to need to choose a CPU for your new PC, what should you
choose? Let me give you a bit of food for thought.
