The CPU processes data, so data would be using the CPU.
In a CPU, data is stored in registers, which are small storage locations within the CPU itself. Registers are used to hold data that is actively being processed by the CPU, such as instructions, memory addresses, and temporary calculations. Data can also be temporarily stored in the cache memory in the CPU for faster access.
It actsas a cache for the CPU to execute instructions and work on temporary data.
The data is held on the hard drive in a computer system. The data is changed into single numbers and then recorded by the hardware on the computer before storage.
No. The CPU is NOT a storage device. It is where the computer does the "thinking" and actual data processing. In fact, the CPU IS the computer itself.
Random Access
Simple answer - speed. By using the CPU register, the information is kept "local" to the CPU. By storing a value in a memory location, a lookup has to be performed to retrieve it.
The fan will work - but it will spin constantly - as it would have no data to rely on to regulate the temperature of the CPU.
only the temporary data which can not be seen by any of the user expect PROs it could be a password, the work sheet you are working. any unsaved data that you playing games or writing.
The temporary holding area for files is the buffer which is located in the RAM. The purpose of the buffer is to act as a holding area that will enable the CPU to manipulate data before being transferred.
RAM is volatile storage that holds the program and data that the CPU would be processing.
Data run's through a processor CPU = Core Processing Unit but yes CPU is the same thing as a Processor or ''Data Processor''
