    Computer components - statistics & facts

    A computer has several key features including a central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), memory, and storage. Just like organs have specific roles in the body, each component in a computer has a unique function. The CPU is like the brain, directing operations, while the GPU is like the eyes, processing visual information. Beyond this, short-term memory helps store data that the CPU needs to access quickly, while storage acts as the computer’s long-term memory, holding files and programs for extended periods. With the optimum combination of components, computers are becoming ever more powerful and efficient.
