The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is similar to the brains of humans. It is able to perform. It is responsible for handling the input and outputs that users place within the computer using complex operations. There are many devices nowadays that utilize CPUs within the electronic components to make them including computers, phones, and desktops. Cores are also another essential part of the computer and come along with the CPU. Cores are "physical units where the actual processing and computing takes place". CPUs can reach up to 32-64 cores currently and make computers with such amount reliable in editing or streaming videos. Also, the clock speed that comes with CPUs is becoming faster and faster with every new innovation. the clock speed is how fast a computer is. However, with such innovations, the CPUs have become more prone to overheating as they require much more power than originally. A good analogy of this could be seeing computers with more cores as trucks that can run multiple a site while not overheating as often. while computers with higher clock speeds are fast cars that can load a single site much faster without overheating although once there are multiple sites the computer slows often overheating. A cause for advice is to not to overheat your computer often as it could cause aging which can lead to slower performance and processing.
