3. Lesson 3 The CPU Intel Pentium 4 2.533 Ghz Socket 478
4. Lesson 3 The CPU Inside the CPU Control Unit Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) Other registers Memory Address Register Memory Data Register Main Memory Address bus Data bus Control Bus (Read / Write) Electronic clock Clock pulses
5. Lesson 3 The CPU The Control Unit It manages fetch, decode and execute program instructions. It synchronises the whole system by telling devices what to do and when to do it The CU sends signals to other parts of the computer
6. Lesson 3 The CPU The Arithmetic and Logic Unit The ALU is where data is actually processed in the CPU Processing data in the ALU involves doing arithmetic calculations e.g. add, subtract, multiply, divide etc. It also involves logical comparisons like AND, OR etc. using electronic circuitry The ALU uses special arithmetic registers to temporarily store data and results of calculations e.g. the accumulator
![Lesson 3 The CPU The Central Processing Unit (CPU) The Central Processing Unit is a silicon chip that is the ‘brain’ of of a computer system. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],It executes program instructions and data and controls all the devices within the machine It’s internal organisation ( architecture ) consists of 3 main parts:](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/hcpu-111109065706-phpapp02/85/CPU-1-320.jpg)
