One of the most exciting components in the computer is the CPU (Central Processing Unit), which is essentially the brain of the computer. It interprets and executes instructions and data contained in software programs as well as the commands of its user. The more generic term 'processor' is often used to refer to a CPU as well. The power and performance of the CPU are the greatest determinants of a computer's overall performance.

The CPU battlefield is dominated by two companies, Intel and AMD and their processors are forever pushing the performance of each other.
