Microprocessors integrate multiple components into a single chip from "summary" of Code by Charles Petzold
The microprocessor is a marvel of modern engineering. It is a tiny chip that contains within it numerous components necessary for processing data. These components include arithmetic and logic units, control units, memory, and input/output interfaces. In the past, these components were separate entities that had to be connected externally to work together. However, the microprocessor brings them all together on a single chip, allowing for a more compact and efficient design. By integrating multiple components into a single chip, the microprocessor is able to perform complex calculations and execute instructions at lightning speed. This is made pos...
