the processor (CPU)

 the processor

A processor, or CPU, is basically the brain of any computer, laptop, or mobile phone. Without it, the device wouldn't work.

The CPU has the ability to let the rest of the hardware components know what to do and when to do it, executing absolutely everything you do on your device, from pressing a key to playing an application and/or video game.

Important parts of a processor:

cores, threads, and the cache hierarchy

-Physical cores: independent processors within the encapsulation. An 8-core CPU can work on eight real tasks at once.

-Logical threads: Thanks to technologies like Hyper-Threading (Intel) or SMT (AMD), each core duplicates part of its circuit and handles two threads. In Windows, you'll see "8 cores / 16 threads."

-L1, L2, and L3 cache: Ultra-fast internal memory. L1 is the fastest and smallest; L3 is the largest and "slowest." They store immediate data and save trips to RAM.

-Integrated memory controller: Distributes data, prevents collisions between cores, and keeps the CPU running smoothly.

What are the different types of processors?

Currently, there are several models, which we can classify according to their architecture:


-x86: This is the most common architecture in computers and is used by Intel and AMD.

-ARM: This architecture is designed for mobile devices and stands out for its energy efficiency.

-RISC-V: This is an open-source architecture that is gaining popularity due to its flexibility and scalability.
