A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instructions that drive a computer.A processor includes an arithmetical logic and control unit (CU), which measures capability in terms of the following:
1. Ability to process instructions at a given time
2. Maximum number of bits/instructions
3. Relative clock speed
