- It also performs logical operations like comparisons (greater than, less than, equal to) and bitwise operations (AND, OR, NOT).
- OU (Output Unit) handles sending processed data to external devices like monitors or printers.
- CU (Control Unit) fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and controls the flow of data within the CPU.
- IU (Input Unit) is responsible for receiving data from external devices like keyboards or mice.
