A chip contains millions of microminiature electronic circuit components.
A micro processor (processor on a chip) is the miniatuarized circuitry of a computer processor.

Central Processing Unit
CPU follows the instructions of the SW to manipulate data into information.
CPU consists of two parts: ALU (arithmetic/logic unit) CU (control unit)
![Page 5: Information Systems HW. Definition A computer consists of: Central Processing Unit (CPU) Primary storage Secondary storage Input devices Output devices.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e455503460f94b3994f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Arithmetic / Logic Unit ALU performs the principal logical and
arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /, determine whether a no. is positive-negative-zero)
ALU can perform logical operations on characters and numbers (AND, OR, exclusive OR)

Control Unit
CU coordinates and controls the other parts of the computer system. Reads a stored program, one instruction at a time, and directs other components of the system to perform the tasks required by the program.

Main Memory Stores the part of the program
(instructions) that is being executed
Holds data that are being used by the program
Holds processed data waiting to be sent to an output device or secondary-storage device.
