What are the examples of processing hardware?

Processing hardware refers to the components in a computer that perform computations and manage data. Examples include the central processing unit (CPU), which executes instructions and processes data, and the graphics processing unit (GPU), which handles rendering images and graphics. Other examples are digital signal processors (DSPs) for processing audio and video signals, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that can be configured for specific tasks. Additionally, microcontrollers in embedded systems also function as processing hardware.
