What else has a CPU other than a computer?

[EnVy_28]

I know a camera has a cpu, a phone and tablet has a cpu. What else has a cpu?

[Godlygamer23]

I don't think cameras have what is classified as a CPU. But in terms of what does the most calculations...I think sound cards have a CPU. Besides, computer chips alone are computers. Your phone is a computer - cameras are computers. Your microwave is a computer.

Really? Then what's processing the image then? I did some small research and found something about cpu lenses. Dont know what that is though.

I said it's not classified as a CPU. We don't call it a CPU.

Calculators.

LOL

[Snickerzz]

Pretty much anything electronical

[ixi_your_face]

Anything that makes mathematical calculations digitally, really.

Like.... what?

Like.... what?

Some clocks, wireless routers, some printers, your car, a plane, a boat etc

 

Basically, most electronic devices or stuff that uses electronics have a chip that processes information.

It's still a processor. A CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, so it isn't specific to PCs.

My calculator has a 16MHz processor. I think it might overclock it to hit the magic 17MHz :)

[Chevaishr]

how about one of those santa claus  that goes HO HO HO when push it's tummy 

 

 

Edit spelt, santa claus as santa claws

it probably had something that resembles a processor, but it would be very simple as it only have to look play a digital file.

My Gameboy Colour had a 4MHz processor that OC'd to 8MHz under high load  :D

i hear you

Yes I know that. But cars don't have a CPU. Cameras don't have a CPU. I mean, do you call the ECU in your car...a CPU? Doubt it.

pshhh that's nothing to the 46MHz the guy in the vid i linked earlier got lol

some times they are referred to as a dsp (digital signal processor ) but in all essence they are all  processing units and can be called cpus

Actually I think they do have CPUs. Specialized embedded CPUs are still CPUs. They aren't fast and cannot run anything but the code programmed into them but they are still a CPU.

how about the radio that should have cpus too

Asians.

 

it's okay I'm allowed to make this joke b/c I'm one myself trololo

[Godlygamer23]

So far my argument is being squished.

[Austin Powers]

How about smart TVs? Loading and all those stuffs. I heard somewhere or over heard there is quad core on them.

it's just the name for something. I'd say the ecu in a car is basically a CPU.
