In which component can you find the CPU?

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is found on the motherboard, which serves as the primary circuit board in a computer. The motherboard is the central hub that connects and communicates with various components of the computer, including the CPU, memory (RAM), storage devices, and peripheral interfaces.

The CPU is physically mounted in a socket on the motherboard, and it communicates with other components via a system of buses and pathways established on the motherboard. This location is crucial because the motherboard provides the necessary connections and power for the CPU to operate effectively and coordinate tasks with other hardware.

The power supply, graphics card, and RAM module serve different functions within the computer system. The power supply provides electrical power to the system, the graphics card is responsible for rendering images and video, and the RAM module serves as temporary storage for data that the CPU can access quickly. Each of these components interacts with the motherboard but does not house the CPU itself.
