Microprocessor [/size] [/b]
This term stands for a general purpose digital computer consisting of the CPU (Central Processing Unit). A microprocessor usually contains an ALU (Arithmetic Logical Unit.
In the CPU , majority of the operations and tasks assigned to the microprocessor are completed. In the ALU , only arithmetic ( addition , subtraction etc.) and logical ( And, Or , Not etc.) are taken care of.
The prime use of a microprocessor is to read data, perform extensive calculations on that data and store those calculations in a mass storage device or display the results for human eye. This sits on the motherboard of each PC ( Personal Computer). The motherboard stands for the card in the PC that controls almost all the other peripherals. Examples of microprocessors are the Intel 8085 ( one of the first microprocessors), P1 family, P2 and now the P3 family from Intel Inc.
