* '''[[general-purpose microprocessors]]''' - the most common form of microprocessors, not designed for any one specific task in mind. Instead they are designed to support a broad array of operations. | * '''[[general-purpose microprocessors]]''' - the most common form of microprocessors, not designed for any one specific task in mind.

* '''[[system on chip]]''' ('''SoC''') - a microprocessor that contains all the components of a computer system, including the extra functionality that would normally be provided by auxiliary chips, which could include things such as [[wireless]], [[ethernet]], [[SD card]], [[ADC]], [[DAC]], [[LCD driver]]s, and [[FPGA]]. SoCs are capable of running full-fledged modern operating systems with all their features. | * '''[[system on chip]]''' ('''SoC''') - a microprocessor that contains all the components of a computer system, including the extra functionality that would normally be provided by auxiliary chips, which could include things such as [[wireless]], [[ethernet]], [[SD card]], [[ADC]], [[DAC]], [[LCD driver]]s, and [[FPGA]].

* '''[[microcontroller]]''' ('''MCU''') - a microprocessor that contains a few additional components such as [[RAM]], [[ROM]], and programmable [[I/O]] ports primarily designed to control and drive other electronic equipment. MCUs are designed to be embedded, usually in a highly restrictive environment. They usually consume very little power, may run relatively slow, and typically execute individual task-specific programs. | * '''[[microcontroller]]''' ('''MCU''') - a microprocessor that contains a few additional components such as [[RAM]], [[ROM]], and programmable [[I/O]] ports primarily designed to control and drive other electronic equipment.
