For Microprocessor we have terms and definitions in 8 topics. The topics are Automotive, Computer Hardware, Computer Technology, Microprocessor, Shoes, Storage Media, Technology and Transistors.

Microprocessor (Automotive)

A small computer, sometimes called a "chip" or "IC" (integrated circuit).

Microprocessor (Computer Hardware)

The microprocessor, commonly referred to as the CPU, is responsible for performing operations based on the instructions of programs. In general, the microprocessor performs three functions: data manipulation, logical comparisons, and mathematical calculations. The microprocessor is closely related to the overall speed and performance of a PC.

Microprocessor (Computer Technology)

Consists of a central processing unit (CPU) on a single chip that can have over a million transistors in a single, integrated-circuit package that is roughly 1 square inch in size.

Microprocessor (Microprocessor)

An integrated circuit in which CPU, ALU, and control functions are combined.

Microprocessor (Shoes)

A microelectronic device with a memory that can be set to programme a series of, for example, mechanical movements of an arm with a grasping device to move shoe component from one machine to another. It is much simpler than a computer, differing from it in not having a central processor unit, or print-out or other peripherals.

Microprocessor (Storage Media)

The integrated circuit chip that performs the bulk of data processing and controls the operation of all of the parts of the system. A disk drive also contains a microprocessor to handle all of the internal functions of the drive and to support the embedded controller.

Microprocessor (Technology)

A central processing unit (CPU) on a single chip. A modern microprocessor can have over 1 million transistors in an integrated-circuit package that is roughly 1 inch square. Microprocessors are at the heart of all personal computers. When memory and power are added to a microprocessor, all the pieces, excluding peripherals, required for a computer are present. The most popular lines of microprocessors today are the 680x0 family from Motorola, which powers the Apple Macintosh line, and the 80x86 family from Intel, which is at the core of all IBM PC-compatible and PS/2 computers. See also 6502, 65816, 6800, 68000, 68020, 68030, 68040, 80286, 80386DX, 80386SX, 8080, 8086, 8088, 88000, DECchip 21064, i486DX, i486DX2, i486SL, i486SX, Pentium, Pentium Pro, PowerPC, SPARC, Z80.

Microprocessor (Transistors)

A circuit of transistors and other electrical components on a chip that can process programs, remember information, or perform calculations.
