The CPU and RAM are the two important parts of electronic gadgets.
The CPU handles the functioning of the gadget and memory stores that functions command.

What is a Central Processing Unit (CPU)?
The CPU is a part of the hardware that carries forward the instructions of a computer program.
It is trained to perform basic functions like arithmetic, logic and input/outfit operations in the computer system.
In the computer, every instruction goes through the CPU, it doesnt matter how small it is.
A CPU has multiple components which perform different work.
It has an arithmetic logic unit that has a responsibility to perform simple arithmetic and logical tasks.
It also contains a control unit that handles the various parts of the computer.
The control unit also calls the arithmetic logic unit to perform the necessary calculations from time to time.
The CPU contains at least oneprocessor,which is the actual chip inside the CPU that performs calculations.
High-end CPUs may have six (Hexa-core) or even eight (octa-core) processors.
A computer may also have more than one CPU, which each have multiple cores.
It has two separate registers that are managed by the CPUs control unit.
The desired logical memory address is stored in the Memory Address Register (MAR).
In terms of seconds, DRAM gives access times of about 60 nanoseconds.
SRAM does the same in 10 nanoseconds.
What is the relationship between CPU and RAM?
If the CPU is a nail gun, RAM are nails.
As the CPU processes tasks, runs applications, it needs/uses memory.
It can reduce the performance of the program drastically.
They both are highly important for the working of electronic gadgets.
They might have different features, but their functioning is interlinked.
So, when purchasing a new gadget, check that that the central processing unit and memory are powerful.
