It consists of following components –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arithmetic & Logic Unit (ALU)<\/strong> \u2014 It is a circuit to perform calculations and logical comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registers<\/strong> \u2014 data which is processed, is stored here. Each register is “word”-sized and can be accessed at high-speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control Unit or Instruction Decoder<\/strong> \u2014 It controls all other parts of the CPU, sending signals in preset patterns to shift data between registers, the ALU and the main data and address buses.<\/p>\n\n\n

A word<\/strong> is defined by the size of the CPU’s registers and it is the capability of CPU.  Thus a “16-bit CPU” has 16bit-sized registers.  The external data bus is often the same width as the registers but, it may have different width, depending on the amount of memory that it may access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal cache<\/strong> – Cache memory is a high-speed memory device located between the CPU and main memory.  It pre-fetches data and read faster than main memory would allow.  The cache closest to the processor is called level 1 (L1) cache and is often built within the CPU circuit itself.  Level 2 (L2) cache used to be located on the motherboard but is now integrated onto the CPU and Level 3 cache has also emerged these days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
