What is a computer processor?
The processor, also known as the CPU, provides the instructions and processing power the computer needs to do its work. The more powerful and updated your processor, the faster your computer can complete its tasks: running programs, loading pages, and downloading files. By getting a more powerful processor, you can help your computer think and work faster.

What else do you need to know about a processor?
The performance of your processor depends on a wide range of factors, which include clock speed, core count, available cache memory, and other factors.
Because your processor manages the communication between all the components of your system, it's important to choose an option that supports your desired expandability.
