The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output operations.
- This role contrasts with that of external components, such as main memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized coprocessors such as graphics processing units.
- The form, design, and implementation of CPUs have changed over time, but their fundamental operation remains almost unchanged.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Central processing unit article was read about 360,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
