Definition:
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. You can consider it as the brain of your gaming console or computer—it's the part that gives orders to everything else. Like your top chef instructs all the kitchen staff in a bustling restaurant.
Why it Matters:
When kids talk about a game's CPU requirements, they're explaining the 'chef quality' needed for the game. A game asking for a higher CPU simply means that it needs a more advanced 'chef' to run all its features smoothly.
Grown-Up Tip:
Next time when your kid talks about getting a game with high CPU requirements, ask "Do we need a higher level 'chef' for this game? Is our current console or computer strong enough?" This will open up a conversation about the game's technical needs without getting lost in the jargon.
