Central processing unit (CPU)

The processor is responsible for logical and computational operations processing data. It is the main part of the computer. Externally, the CPU is a small square board covered with a metal plate at the top. It is necessary to use a metal cover to protect the microchips. The bottom surface includes a large number of pins. The CPU is installed in a socket on the motherboard.
Any computing device needs a CPU. The CPU is connected to the memory system and the input and output devices.

Components of the processor

The CPU consists of:

CPU lid. It ensures ingress protection against small particles and prevents mechanical damage. The lid is made of a material with a high thermal conductivity coefficient. Thus, heat can be extracted from the chip, and the CPU temperature is maintained at a normal range.
