 Word processor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A word processor (also more formally known as a document preparation system) is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of viewable or printed material.
With the rise of personal computers, and in particular the IBM PC and PC compatibles, software-based word processors running on general-purpose commodity hardware gradually displaced dedicated word processors, and the term came to refer to software rather than hardware.
The word processor has become a central component of the office suite and is increasingly only available in this form, rather than as a standalone program.

 Information Processor Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ ArtisticNudity.com
An object may be considered an information processor if it receives information from another object and in some manner changes the information before transmitting it.
Any time the properties of an object change a process has occurred meaning that a processor of some kind is at work.

 basics about computer hardware
The processor is the part of the computer that actually does the computations.
An external bus is a bus outside of the processor (but inside the computer), moving data, addresses, and other information between major components (including cards) inside the computer.
Mainframe computers and minicomputers were CISC processors, with manufacturers competing to offer the most useful instruction sets.

However, moving core processor functionality into software meant moving it into main memory, and this move put Transmeta's designs on the wrong side of the ever-widening latency gap between the execution units and RAM.
The end result is that there is this massive amount of control logic that now sits between the processor's cache and its execution core, just as therei s a massive amount of latency that sits between the cache and main memory.
What I've tried to illustrate with this diagram and the preceding ones is that there is a homology between the growth of on-die control logic that intervenes between the cache and the execution core and the growth of memory latency.

 RISC processor on Encyclopedia.com
In the mid-1990s RISC processors began to be used in personal computers instead of the CISC processors that had been used since the introduction of the microprocessor.
RISC PROCESSOR [RISC processor] [ R educed I nstruction S et C omputer], computer arithmetic-logic unit that uses a minimal instruction set, emphasizing the instructions used most often and optimizing them for the fastest possible execution.
RISC processors can emulate x86 quickly; fast emulation requires both hardware and software techniques.

Since all current Intel® processors have internal L2 cache, the cache speed will be expressed in MHz/GHz or the speed in relationship to the processor core speed.
L2 Cache is ultra-fast memory that buffers information being transferred between the processor and the slower RAM in an attempt to speed these types of transfers.

CISC(complex instruction set computer) is the traditional architecture of a computer, in which the CPU uses microcode to execute very comprehensive instruction set.
When the Hungarian born John von Neumann, first suggested storing a sequence of instructions - that's to say, a program - in the same memory as the data, it was a truly innovative idea.
The report organised the computer system into four main parts: the Central Arithmetical unit, the Central Control unit, the Memory, and the Input/Output devices.

Still clock speed is the one thing that marketing people are just about able to comprehend and if you read the recent CNET-article about AMD's expected release of the Athlon 1200 and Duron 800 you will notice that even the average 'computer journalist' doesn't seem to know a whole lot more than that.
