A microprocessor is the central processing unit of a computer system that executes instructions and manages tasks. It is built on a silicon microchip and is more advanced than earlier computer components. A microcontroller is a computer contained on a single integrated circuit dedicated to performing one specific application, such as in embedded systems. It contains memory, input/output peripherals, and a processor on one chip. Microprocessors generally do not contain on-chip memory or I/O and interface with external components, making them more expandable, while microcontrollers have internal memory and I/O, limiting expandability but making them suitable for dedicated applications. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004 in 1971, while the first microcontroller was the Texas
