Computer Block Diagram Overview Input Devices Keyboards, mice, scanners, and cameras that allow users to interact with the computer. CPU The brain of the computer, executing instructions and performing calculations. Memory Temporary (RAM) and permanent (ROM) storage for data and programs.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) 1 Processing Power The CPU is responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations at high speeds. 2 Clock Speed Measured in GHz, the CPU's clock speed determines the rate at which it can process information. 3 Architecture CPUs can have different architectures, such as x86 or ARM, each with its own strengths and applications.
Memory (RAM and ROM) RAM (Random Access Memory) Volatile memory that stores data and instructions for immediate use by the CPU. ROM (Read-Only Memory) Non-volatile memory that stores the computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) and other essential firmware. Memory Capacity Measured in gigabytes (GB), the amount of memory available affects the computer's performance and the types of applications it can run.
Input Devices Keyboard Allows users to enter text, commands, and navigate the computer. Mouse Enables users to point, click, and control the on-screen cursor. Scanner Digitizes physical documents, photos, and other media for storage and manipulation on the computer. Gamepad Provides a versatile input interface for gaming and multimedia applications.
Output Devices Display Monitors and displays translate digital information into visual output for the user. Printer Transforms digital documents and images into physical, printed form. Speakers Audio output devices that convert digital sound signals into audible output.
Storage Devices 1 Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Magnetic disk-based storage for large-capacity, non-volatile data storage. 2 Solid-State Drive (SSD) Flash-based storage offering faster data access and transfer speeds. 3 USB Flash Drive Portable, removable storage that provides convenient data transfer and backup.
Interconnection and Data Flow Input Devices Provide data and instructions to the computer. CPU Processes the data, executing instructions and performing calculations. Memory Stores the data and instructions needed by the CPU. Output Devices Display the results of the CPU's processing. Storage Devices Provide long-term, non-volatile storage for data and programs.
