	In computer terminology, a '''Central Processing Unit''' or '''CPU''' is a device which carries out the instructed tasks of a computer program by initiating the basic logical, arithmetic, control and input/output operations. The CPU of a computer, as the name indicates, is typically the central processing component for that computer, with other functions like system memory frequently managed by separate components.

The CPU of a computer, as the name indicates, is typically the central processing component for that computer, with other functions like system memory frequently managed by separate components.

	In the context of fembot fiction, the CPU operates as the '''brain''' in a rough anthropomorphic analogue to a human brain. Here, every core computer function, especially those concerning control programming and personality, are contained within. Depending on the writer, this could take the form of any number of devices with an equally numerous amount of variations. For instance, a CPU in one work could be a device no larger than a flash drive with the same level of "plug-and-play" modularity, a combination of inorganic computer components and "wet" organic neurons and ~~everything in between,~~ limited only by the writer's imagination. A particularly common variety of central processor is the "positronic brain" concept made popular by Isaac Asimov, although the exact details and functionality of such a device often varies between story writers.

	As an analogue to the human brain, a fembot's CPU is frequently placed in their heads, but not always. A frequent alternate location is the torso, though in some types of fiction the control processing of a fembot may even be an external source, with the fembot operating remotely.

	A '''~~Brain~~''' to a ~~fembot~~, ~~or android~~, is ~~its Central Processing Unit~~, or CPU, ~~along~~ with ~~its various memory storage devices~~ and ~~other chips~~. ~~The android~~ brain ~~can be located in various locations~~, such as the ~~head~~, the torso, ~~or even outside~~ of the ~~body itself~~, with the ~~brain wirelessly controlling the body from a central server~~.		In computer terminology, a '''Central Processing Unit''' or '''CPU''' is a device which carries out the instructed tasks of a computer program by initiating the basic logical, arithmetic, control and input/output operations. The CPU of a computer, as the name indicates, is typically the central processing component for that computer, with other functions like system memory frequently managed by separate components.

			In the context of fembot fiction, the CPU operates as the '''brain''' in a rough anthropomorphic analogue to a human brain. Here, every core computer function, especially those concerning control programming and personality, are contained within.

			* In [[http://www.fembotwiki.com/index.php?title=Stories/Saya Saya's]] stories, the location of the CPU varies between stories. In [[http://www.fembotwiki.com/index.php?title=Crazy_in_the_Heat "Crazy in the Heat"]], the fembot's core processing is in her torso, whereas in [[http://www.fembotwiki.com/index.php?title=The_Time_With_My_Stepsister "The Time With My Stepsister"]], they're located in the cranium.
			* In The Big-O, Dorothy Wayneright's CPU has its personality and memory components separated from the core operating systems by a hard drive-like device disguised as a hairband. It can be ejected without interrupting her functionality, but its complete removal shuts her down completely.
