A processor is the brain and powerhouse, or even engine of the computer, it executes millions of processes, and there are different types you should know about. First, there are two different types of processor types, those that are made by Intel, and then those made by AMD. These are two different brands of the industry. Right now, the i-core processors are a popular line of models being produced right now; most computer ads show these processors on the featured parts. Intel likes to create their chips with integrated graphics. Those processors are made to have dedicated speed for 3-D applications, like movies and games. AMD processors are my favorite, being that they are cheaper for the same speeds as intel, and they are more flexible as far as overclocking goes, for me at least, this is a preference though.
In all my desktops I recommend AMD chips for processors and video cards. They are the budget friendly chips and they provide outstanding performance. AMD's lineup of video cars are the Raydeon Graphics. Processors run at different volatges and different speed depending on what kind processors you have. For example; a dual core chip will require less volage and power than a quad core CPU, obviously the more Ghz in your processor, the higher speeds you will see which will demand more power. Many quad core processors run at 95 watts - 125 watts. So in relation to your power supply, if you tend to have an older power suplly say, maybe 350 watts max, and you want to upgrade your processor to quad core 125 watt, 350 - 125= 225 watts of power left for the rest of the electronics inside your computer, which includes: hard drive(s), motherboard, video card, CD-DVD drive(s), sound card, PCI card(s) ETC.
