The motherboard and the CPU are both incredibly important pieces of the computer. The CPU is like the brain of the computer. There are varying sizes and speeds that CPUs can come in. I personally have an AMD Ryzen 5 7000 series, whereas my wife uses an Intel i7. Her CPU has more capacity to multitask than mine does. In simple terms, her computer has a bigger brain that can complete more tasks at one time. The motherboard is the housing for all the other parts of the computer. It also acts like nerves in the human body. The motherboard allows the RAM, hard drive, CPU, etc. to all communicate. The motherboard also allows for external ports such as USB, HDMI, SATA, just to name a few. The motherboard is like the body and the CPU is like the brain. They are what allow the whole system to do what it is designed to do.
