What is a Microprocessor? The microprocessor is called the brain of the computer. Nowadays, it is found in most electronic devices, such as computers and smartphones. Actually, the microprocessor is the technology that enables our computers and smartphones to process so fast. Let us learn about it in detail today. A microprocessor is an integrated circuit (IC) that is manufactured using state-of-the-art VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology. It contains millions of transistors, gates and other electronic components on a small chip. It is a Programmable Processing Unit. This means that the microprocessor can be given a set of instructions for various tasks, which we know as software. The microprocessor is capable of performing the following functions.
