How does a CPU work?

Gary, please re-organize the order of the videos, the video 11 on the playlist should be the first video on the series... since it's the oldest.. are you following Little Endian on your videos? xD

Guys, I understand everything, but where does the instruction come from?

Lmao subtitles are so inaccurate

Like
Super simple and easy to understand
Thank You:)

so basically each cpu has the instruction sets already so user input goes to cpu or ram? is a microcontroller basically like a cpu without an instruction set? Just learning on my own, want to grasp this stuff. Thanks

Thanks Gary I think you just saved my A-Level Computing class

Wow I really feel like I've just watched a compelling ad to go buy more RAM. :-P

Thank you.

This makes so much more sense if you've written assembly code lol

Quantum CPU when? I want fast FPS in games 😂

great one!

What i understand about the CPU and Memory (Ram) is that the CPU is the brain and the Ram is the workspace where programs are executed.

Thats pretty much what i know about it.

I agree

I didn't understand this at all. I just want to know how electricty flows into a cpu and does what it does.

Gary's the homeboy huh

So when im streaming my cpu is at 1 to 6% is that good or bad?

Gary, I teach laptop repair to students who have basically never seen the inside of a computer before. Can I have you permission to show this video in my presentation to explain the basics of a CPU? Thank you!

thank you im doing this for school work

NIce video, very good explanation

Thank you :)

very helpful thx

but how do they physically work? I don't understand how information is stored, and somehow exists within bits of metal, and electricity. How does a hunk of metal translate to me playing pubg? Every little blade of grass, every beam of light is being rendered by bits of metal glued imto plastic with a few watts of electricity coursing through it. But the information isn't physically there, so what is it, and how is it done?

simp

that was very clear thank you for your explanations

why is death stranding helping me understand this? fetch and deliver, on to the next, update for efficiency, avoid water lol

This just left me with so many more questions haha. Like I get what the CPU is doing but how does the GHz come into play?
What's the diff between ram and a harddrive then.

Stop pretending you know how it works, Nobody knows how it works clearly it is a chip they found in an alien spaceship and we do not understand it.

Dude, you reversed the playlist. Instead of going from video 1 through 6, it goes from 6 through 1. :/

I would like you to elaborate on instructions set for me

Thank you for this simple explanation with the understandable examples

anyone from computer organization course😂

i don't want to know how a CPU works i want to know why do people try and sell a CUP that DON"T work, i don
t get that one, what are you suppose to do with it

Infinitely better explanation than my lecturers, onya Garyyyy

SImply Excellent Explanation!!!

Gary, you do a better job at explaining how a CPU works in 8 minutes than my college professor did in a whole semester back in college.

Thank you for your nice teaching.

Gary's mention of sepecial-purpose torpedo computers takes me back to 1970 or '71. The start of my day around 6:00 a.m. was four newspapers and a bunch of single-page indexes couriered over to me in the Rayburn Building from some place in the Commerce Department down in Virginia. An oddity one day: a bunch of torpedo warheads for sale.

Everybody in my gang had been wanting a computer for a while, and this looked like one way of getting one. Bingo! The whole bunch, 28 guidance systems I think it was, got bought up by some group of university clubs in the Netherlands. Good for them, thinks I.

(A little bit later a high-school kid in Georgia or some place bought an entire multi-stage rocket for next to othing by shopping for surplus through pretty much the same sort of reading I used to do. The police, and then the press, paid him an enquiring visit before all the parts actually got delivered...)

And around that time there was this Ed Roberts guy working on a thingie called an Altair. And this Bill Gates kid had the funny idea of selling software...

There's sth i didnt get. When the CPU creates the register R1 ( in your exapmle) you place it in a new box next to the CPU box. If that isnt RAM, what kind of memory is it?

Great job!

Where's the next video's link saying in the video end.. about assembly?

Excellent explanation. Love your videos, thanks!

Btu how does it work on a physical level, what is the cpu actually doing physically

You reminded me of the Basic programming language in MSX 170 computer, it had Sprite that you could design your own character.

This was a fantastic explanation. Thanks so much for making it seem so easy.

Thank you

After a video about Assembly a video about VHDL/Verilog would be the next step? ;)
