Excellent and engaging PowerPoint presentation on purpose of CPU. There is a student version and a version with answers. The attention to detail is something I have never seen before in a PowerPoint presentation. I mean WOW. Not satisfied with that then there is a lesson plan, worksheet and exam questions that accompany the PPT.
