INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Processors are found in many modern electronic devices,

including PCs, smartphones, tablets, and other handheld
devices. Their purpose is to receive input in the form of
program instructions and execute trillions of calculations to
provide the output that the user will interface with.

Working of processor

• First an instruction is fetched from memory.

• Second, the instruction is decoded and the
processor figures out what it’s being told to do.
• Third, the instruction is executed and an
operation is performed.
• These three steps repeat in a cycle that begins
again with the CPU fetching the next instruction.

What is single, double and
multi core processors?
Single core: Has one core to
process different operations like
intel Pentium.

Dual core : Has two cores to process operations; able

to process more information at the same time
compare to single core like intel core i3 and 15.

Quad core: Contains two dual core

processors in one integrated circuit
and generally used for multi tasking
like intel core i7.
