Computer Jargon Explained: CPU Or Processor

In this post, I’d like to explain something about a computer term “CPU,” which is short for “central processing unit.” You can also call it just “the processor.”

Lots of people don’t exactly grasp this term, so I’ll use very simple, plain-English ways of clarifying it that are going to just make sense, probably more than what you’ve ever heard before today.

I’m also going to talk a little bit about why it is your PC seems to have slowed down from it was when you got it. I’ll also clarify why powerful computers seem to be come wimps in short order.

computer’s processor~The computer’s processor will make a lot more sense with my help~Reading this article will help you understand the processor better~I’ll share with you a better understanding of the CPU~The processor will make a lot more sense with my help~Reading this article will help you understand your CPU better~I’ll share with you a better understanding of a computer’s processor}. Once you understand this, you can better choose the right computer for you. It all really depends on just what you’re trying to do with it.

You can think about the computer’s processor as a brain because it is the closest equivalent to a brain in a computer. This is the component that does the main processing, which is more or less like thinking.

Another way of thinking about it is to think of it like muscles. A computer that has a low-end processor, not one of the fastest ones on the market, is like that stereotypical 98-pound weakling. A high-end CPU is sort of like a Charles Atlas or Arnold Schwarzenegger, someone who is very strong, maybe takes steroids and is very big and muscular.

I want you to think about these two types — the weakling and the weight lifter. Carrying a book across a room is no challenge to either the bodybuilder or the weakling. Either one of them can easily carry a book across a room.

However, what if the person is instead trying to carry a big, 100-pound bag of concrete, the98-pound weakling might not be able to cross the room or possibly may not even have a hope of lifting it.

If they do actually get all the way across the room, they’re probably going to stagger slowly and barely make it since they’re trying to do something that’s just too much for them to mange.

The bodybuilder, on the other hand, will naturally notice} that the weight is much heavier than a book, but they’ll be able to carry it across the room much more easily than the 98-pound weakling.

So that’s one way you can make sense of it. A high-end computer is like the weightlifter. The average level computer is like a person of average strength. They could easily carry a book across a room, but couldn’t very easily, if at all, carry that huge bag of {concrete~They could easily lift a book, but walking with a giant back of cement would be really hard to do~While a light book would be no problem to carry, they might not be able to do so well with the heavy cement bag~The concrete bag obviously would be a nearly impossible chore, and much harder than a mere book~While a book would be an easy task to carry, the concrete bag wouldn’t be so easy~They couldn’t carry something as heavy as a bag of cement nearly as easily as a simple book, if they could at all~It would be easy for them to stroll accross a room with a book, but they’d be staggering if they tried hefting the giant concrete bag}.

So what do I mean by the {concrete?~OK, so you may be wondering what the cement or the book are in practical terms?~In real terms, what do the cement and the book represent?~What’s the cement?} What’s the book~What do I mean by the book~What does the book represent~What is the book like~Are you wondering what the book represents~Wondering what I mean by the book~Are you asking yourself what I mean with the book example~What does the example of the book represent~Just what do I mean by the book}? Let me give you some examples. Most people are doing a few things with their computer. They’re writing, using a word processor like Word, or reading their emails.

They’re looking at web pages, listening to some music, watching some little video like a DVD or looking at some photographs. These are average things. Those are equivalent to carrying a book or something light across a room. Any modern computer can do those things.

Things like or making changes to a large, super-high-quality photograph from an expensive pro camera, is a bigger, heavier task for the computer to work with.

You could also think of playing the latest and greatest computer games. Those activities are more like carrying that big bag of cement, so they do need a high-end computer.

Finally, I want to talk about is why it is, over time, what used to be a high-end~powerful computer goes from being Charles Atlas to being a 98-pound weakling.

You tend to get more complicated programs as new versions come out. It’s under the hood that they’re more complicated, not necessarily more complicated to use.

So it’s almost like they weigh more each year. The typical “weight” has grown over time and so becomes harder for the computer to deal with.

I hope that makes sense, even if you’ve never had much luck learning basics of computer skills so far. It actually can be much easier than you might think with the right computer training.
