Global Microprocessor (CPU) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

A microprocessor, often referred to simply as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), is the brain of a computer or electronic device. It is a small chip that performs arithmetic, logic, control, and input/output (I/O) operations, allowing the device to execute programmed instructions. Microprocessors contain millions or even billions of transistors integrated onto a single silicon chip. They fetch instructions from memory, decode them, and execute them sequentially. Microprocessors are the key component in computers, smartphones, tablets, and many other electronic devices, determining their processing power and capabilities. They come in various architectures and designs, with each generation offering increased performance, efficiency, and features.
