What is CPU (Central Processing Unit)?

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is responsible for processing and executing instructions. This article helps you understand how the CPU interacts with the rest of the device and what makes them and the computing process so designed.What makes a CPU a CPU?The CPU is the core component that defines a computing device, but it's not the only component, it's just the brain. The chip is located in a special socket (slot) on the main circuit board (motherboard or motherboard) inside the device. It is significantly different from memory where information is temporarily stored. It's also separate from the graphics card, or graphics chip, which renders all video and 3D graphics displayed on the screen.CPUs are built by placing billions of tiny transistors on a single computer chip. These transistors allow it to perform calculations to run programs stored in the system's memory. They're actually tiny gates that open or close, thus conveying zero or zero, which translates to everything you do with the device, whether it's watching a video or writing an email.One of the most common advances in CPU technology is making these transistors smaller and smaller. This led to an increase in CPU speed over several decades, often referred to as Moore's LawIn modern devices, a desktop or laptop computer has a dedicated CPU that performs many processing functions for the system. Instead, mobile devices and some tablets use a system-on-a-chip (SoC), a chip that contains their CPU and other components. Both Intel and AMD offer CPUs with graphics chips and memory, meaning they can perform more than just standard CPU functions.What does the CPU actually do?The core of the CPU takes instructions from a program or application and performs calculations. The process is divided into three key stages: acquisition, decoding and execution. The CPU fetches the instruction from RAM, decodes its actual meaning, and then uses the relevant part of the CPU to execute the instruction.The instructions or calculations performed may involve basic arithmetic, comparing certain numbers or moving them around in memory. Since everything in a computing device is represented by the number 01, these simple tasks are equivalent to the work of the CPU. From starting Windows to watching Bilibili videos, everything is easy.In modern systems, the CPU can't do everything, but it still has to give the number of functions it needs to specialized hardware. For example, it tells the graphics card to display an explosion effect because you clicked a thunderbolt, or it tells the hard drive to transfer an Office document into the system's RAM for faster access.How important is the CPU?Although the CPU is less important to overall system performance than it once was, it still plays an important role in running your device. Since it is only responsible for executing commands within a program, the faster the CPU, the faster many applications will run.That said, a fast CPU isn't everything. Processors, no matter how powerful, can't easily render the latest 3D games, nor can they store information. This is where other components like the graphics card and memory come into play.In short, the CPU is not everything, but it is very important. Generally, a faster CPU means your system or device will run faster. At least it won't be a bottleneck in itself. Multiple cores and threads help you do more at once.

How much memory and storage should I buy for a phone in 2024?

It is recommended that 8+128G be considered as a starting point, 12+256G as a standard, and 16+512G as a long-term consideration.The reason for this recommendation is mainly because the current mobile phone system and APP applications not only occupy more and more running memory, but also consume more and more storage space.Because of this, if you want your phone to be used daily without lag, 8+128G can be said to be the minimum requirement. If you often use your phone heavily and want your phone to be smooth and last longer, 12+256G is more recommended and can be used as a "standard" choice. And if you want your mobile phone to have a service life of 3-4 years or even longer, then 16+512G and 16G+1T are more suitable to buy.Briefly talk about phone running memory1. Memory? Or storage?In fact, both names are fine, and there is not much difference, but it is usually called "storage" more often. The running memory of a mobile phone has basically the same function as the memory stick of a computer. It determines the upper limit of the applications that we can open at the same time while using the mobile phone. The larger the running memory, the more tasks will be processed at the same time.In addition, the current processing mechanism of the Android system is to allow customers to switch between multiple tasks more smoothly. Therefore, generally when switching an open application to the background, the system will automatically keep the application and continue to run in the background. However, when the phone is turned on The longer the time goes on, the more applications will stay in the background, and therefore the more stuck it will be.Therefore, when the mobile phone's running memory has enough space, more applications can reside in the background, so that you will not switch after opening several applications and find that some applications have been killed by the system.Let’s talk about mobile phone storage spaceThe running memory determines the number of applications resident in the background at the same time, while the storage space determines the upper limit of the number of applications downloaded and files stored on the mobile phone (in addition, when the storage space usage is close to the critical value, the mobile phone will become increasingly laggy) .I currently use two mobile phones at the same time, one for work and one for daily life, both equipped with 512G storage space. Even so, the one used for work has taken up more than 200G of space. If it is 256G, it will be obvious. It will not be enough (of course my situation will be a bit special, because there are many documents stored on my mobile phone every day).Some suggestions for mobile phone storage capacity:It is recommended to start with 128G storage space. Currently, new Android phones rarely have less than 128G storage space. Apple only has some iPhone 12 and previous models that have 64G storage versions.If you often take photos or videos, or cache a lot of TV series and movies, or you want your phone to last longer, you can consider starting with 256G, and 512G or 1TB storage space is better.
