What is MPU?

MPU generally stands for MicroProcessing Unit. It is the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer system, typically implemented as a single integrated circuit. It fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and executes them to perform various tasks. MPUs are widely used in computers, smartphones, embedded systems, and other electronic devices.
