RAM:-
Random-access memory is a form of
computer data storage which stores frequently used program instructions to
increase the general speed of a system. RAM is a medium of primary storage.
Whenever, we want to perform some task , memory is first loaded in RAM before
hard drive. The more RAM means the more memory will be stored by it and it will
be capable of circulating the memory fast. Its memory storage system is
volatile by default. It hold information and processed data until you are
working on your computer. When you will shut down your system all memory will
be erased automatically. It stores all the memory up to a limit. After reaching
a specific limit, it will erased the old useless memory for new memory.
PROCESSOR:-
PROCESSOR:-
A processor or microprocessor is a small chip and operating system of a
computer which process the input and saved data. Whenever we command a task to
computer, the processor starts to process the task according to given
instructions. It can perform multi task at the same time. Either you type or
play a music, all these are performed by the processor. All the functions are
processed by its two main function ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) and CU (Control
Unit). Its basic unit is GHz. It means it can perform one billion cycles of
instructions in one second. The more you will update the processor, the more it
will be able to perform high cycles per second. At that time, AMD, ARM and
Intel are manufacturing different kinds of processor.
KEY DIFFERENCE:-
KEY DIFFERENCE:-
1. Processor is more expensive than
RAM.
2. Processor is assigned with
instructions of processing the task while RAM actually run the program.
3. A special fan is required for
processor because it got heated after sometime. Sometimes a special gel is
mandatory to keep it cool. There is no concept of heat and requirement of fan
and gel in case of RAM.
4. Upgrading the RAM is more easier
than processor. Processor can be upgrade on one condition if your motherboard
can support.
5. Although both RAM and processor are
integral part of computer. However, processor can be slightly important from
RAM in that sense it runs the whole system while RAM just performed the memory
matters.
6. Having high processor means the
fast processing speed while having high RAM means the more capability of
holding the data.
7. Processor is not universally
accepted by every system. For example if your motherboard supports only Intel
processor, it will not able to support AMD or ARM processor. While RAM is
widely acceptable. There is no requirement of specific RAM for motherboard.
8. Processor does not hold any memory
either system is on or off. RAM holds temporary memory until system is on and
erase automatically all memory when system shutdown. That’s why it is called
Random Access Memory.
