Main features

CPU

A computer’s CPU (Central Processing Unit) is one of the most critical components of any PC, acting as the brain of the system. It is responsible for executing instructions and managing data which allows the computer to run applications and perform tasks.

CPU

Modern CPUs have evolved significantly from their earlier counterparts and are now composed of multiple cores. Each of these cores functions as an independent processing unit, allowing the CPU to perform multiple operations simultaneously, a process known as parallel processing.

CPU

In a modern CPU, not all cores are identical in terms of performance and function. Many processors, particularly in laptops and mobile devices, are designed with heterogeneous core-groups of cores with specific functions. For instance, efficiency cores are designed to handle less demanding tasks, such as browsing the web or performing background processes, while consuming minimal power. This not only extends battery life but also allows the CPU to maintain basic functionality without consuming excessive resources.On the other hand, performance cores are optimized for handling more intensive operations, such as gaming, video editing, or running complex software. These cores are designed to deliver higher performance but require more power. When a laptop is connected to an external power source, both efficiency and performance cores are typically activated, allowing the CPU to perform optimallywithout worrying about conserving energy

CPU

Without the CPU, a computer would be incapable of functioning. It is the only part of the computer’s hardware that directly executes instructions from programs, excluding specialized components like the GPU, which also processes data but for specific tasks like rendering images and videos. Even in systems with powerful GPUs, the CPU is essential as it coordinates the overall operations, and often works alongside the GPU to execute complex programs. In entry-level systems or laptops, CPUs with integrated GPUs are commonly used. These processors allow for basic graphical tasks without requiring a separate graphics card, which reduces both the cost and power consumption of the system. However, for more graphically demanding tasks, such as gaming or 3D rendering, dedicated GPUs are usually required.
