What is microprocessors?

A microprocessor is a computer processor that incorporates the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC), or at most a few ICs. Microprocessors are used in a wide range of devices, from simple embedded systems to complex computer systems, handling tasks such as data processing, control, and communication.
