The computer brain, called the Central Processing Unit (CPU), is super important. It follows instructions from programs to make things happen on a computer. CPUs have different types, called architectures, like x86 (Von-Neumann), ARM, and RISC-V. These types have their own ways of doing things. Some are good at saving power, some can do many things at once, and some are great at specific tasks.
