CPU is responsible for the majority of tasks going on in your computer. Tasks as simple as opening an application or dragging and dropping a file to another folder, as well as complex operations that require multitasking or advanced computations can only be executed by the computer's CPU.

Whether you want to run Adobe Photoshop for photo editing, open Google Sheets or browser tabs, play video games, or work on 3D rendering software, […]
