**The Central Processing Unit (CPU)** serves as the "brain" of a computer, allowing it to perform essential computational tasks. **The Central Processing Unit (CPU)** often refered to as the "brain" of a computer, performs essential computational tasks.
CPUs are integrated circuits, which are complex circuits embedded on a single chip. They include registers, which store single values, and input/output pins. These pins allow them to talk to the rest of the computer. Due to the continued advancement of CPU technology, many computers today utilize a multi-processing unit. Multi-processors are single chips that contain two or more CPUs or "cores" that allow for increased processing capabilities.
