CPU (pronounced as separate letters) is the abbreviation for central

processing unit. Sometimes referred to simply as the central processor, but

more commonly called processor, the CPU is the brains of
the computer where most calculations take place.

RAM (pronounced ramm) is an acronym for random access memory, a type

of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of
memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is
found in servers, PCs, tablets, smartphones and other devices, such as
printers.

Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory used

in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM can only be
modified slowly, with difficulty, or not at all, so it is mainly used to
store firmware (software that is closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely
to need frequent updates) or application software in plug-in cartridges.
