Hello,

I'm going to tell you something more about the processor in your pc.
First of all, every pc has a processor. Otherwise your pc can't work correctly.

The function of your processor:

- Processing of all instructions based on logic calculations and desisions.
- Sending the results and assignments to the chipset (Read blog: The Chipset) and then send them to all the different pieces of your pc.
-  Management of the memory

The processor can be placed different on the motherboard, in a socket or in a slot.

Two typical components of the CPU (processor) are the ALU and the CU.

The function of the ALU is to calculate and make all the decisions.
The function of the CU is going to take all the instructions out of the memory and then he decodes them and execute them

The processor has a cyclus of working:

- Prefetch: Taking the instructions out of the memory.
- Decode: Converting to a code wich the processor can read.
- Execute: Executing the instructions.

                                             


Most of the processors are produced by two very well known companies, Intel or AMD.
Intel is a very stable processor, you can not overclock (upgrade, make it better) it.
AMD processors can be overclocked very easy but you have to be a professional to do it. If you do it yourself be very carefull with it because if you do things wrong you can buy yourself a new processor.
