PROCESSOR

Processor is a core component of computer system. It helps to process data instruction and execute (run) programs. It is small chip which is made of thousand of transistor. It consists of very complex microscopic circuit fabilicate on a chip. The shape and size of processor varies according to generation and model of computer. Some processors have pins on their surface while other don’t have pins on their surface. Some processor are placed in socket of motherboard while other in slot. Processor is of two types socket type and slot type.
