cpu definition

In this lesson, I want to explain a little something about computer jargon “CPU,” which is short for “central processing unit.” You can also call it just “the processor.”

A lot of people don’t really understand this term, so I’ll use very simple, plain-English ways of explaining it that are going to make a lot of sense, much more than what you’ve probably heard before.

I’m also going to clarify why it is your PC seems to have slowed down from it was in the past. You’ll get an answer as to why all computers seem to become antiquated so quickly.

computer’s processor~The computer’s processor will make a lot more sense with my help~Reading this article will help you understand the CPU better~I’ll share with you a better understanding of the computer’s processor~The CPU will make a lot more sense with my help~Reading this article will help you understand your processor better~I’ll share with you a better understanding of a computer’s processor}. Once you understand this, you can better choose the right computer for you. This really depends on how you’re using it.

You can think about the computer’s processor as a brain because it is the closest equivalent to a brain in a computer. This is the part the computer “thinks” with.

Another way of thinking about it is to think of it like muscles. That means a low-end computer is basically the 98 lb weakling. A high-end CPU is sort of like a Charles Atlas or Arnold Schwarzenegger, someone who is very strong, maybe takes steroids and is very big and muscular.

Consider the weight-lifter and the weakling. Either of them could carry the book across the room with ease, so it’s no big advantage being a weightlifter. Either one of them can easily carry a book across a room.

However, what if the person is trying to lug a big, 100-pound bag of concrete, thelittle guy might not be able to cross the room or may not even have a hope of picking it up.

If they do actually make it across the room, they’re probably going to stagger slowly and barely make it there because they’re attempting to do something that’s just too heavy for them to do.

The bodybuilder, on the other hand, will naturally notice} that the weight is more than a book, but they’ll be able to carry it across the room much more easily than the 98-pound weakling.

It can be thought of like that. A high-end computer is like the bodybuilder. The average computer is a sort of “average Joe” with average strength. They could easily carry a book across a room, but couldn’t very easily, if at all, carry that huge bag of {concrete~They could easily lift a book, but walking with a giant back of cement would be really hard to do~While a light book would be no problem to carry, they might not be able to do so well with the heavy concrete bag~The concrete bag obviously would be a nearly impossible chore, and much harder than a mere book~While a book would be an easy task to carry, the cement bag wouldn’t be so easy~They couldn’t carry something as heavy as a bag of cement nearly as easily as a simple book, if they could at all~It would be easy for them to stroll accross a room with a book, but they’d be staggering if they tried hefting the giant concrete bag}.

So what do I mean by the {concrete?~OK, so you may be wondering what the cement or the book are in practical terms?~In real terms, what do the cement and the book represent?~What’s the cement?} What is the book~What do I mean by the book~What does the book represent~What is the book like~Are you wondering what the book represents~Wondering what I mean by the book~Are you asking yourself what I mean with the book example~What does the example of the book represent~Just what do I mean by the book}? Let me share with you some examples. Most people are doing a few things with their computer. They’re writing, using a word processor like Word, or reading their emails.

They’re looking at web pages, listening to some music, watching some little video like a DVD or looking at some photographs. These are average things. Those are equivalent to carrying a book or something light across a room. A modern computer can do this stuff without breaking a sweat.

Things like editing video, is a bigger, heavier task for the computer to work with.

Playing the latest and greatest computer games is another great example. Those activities are more like carrying that big bag of cement, so they do need a high-end computer.

The last thing I want to explain is why, as time goes by, what once was a high-end~powerful computer goes from being Charles Atlas to being a 98-pound weakling.

It’s because the new versions of programs, like Word or your operating system, in most cases tend to be more complicated. Understand that just because they’re more complex doesn’t always mean more complex to use.

Over time, it’s like they become “heavier”. The typical “weight” has grown over time and so becomes harder for the computer to deal with.

I hope that makes sense, even if you’ve never had much luck learning basic computer skills before today. It actually can be a lot simpler than you may have thought with the best computer training.
