What are the advantages of microcomputers over traditional computers?

(1) has a high degree of automation and strong processing capacity.

The computer represents the process of processing information as a program composed of many instructions in a certain order. Computers have the ability to pre-store programs and automatically execute programs according to the stored programs without manual intervention, so they are highly automated.

(2) Fast operation speed and strong processing ability.

Because the computer uses high-speed electronic equipment, it can work at a very high speed. At present, ordinary microcomputers can execute hundreds of thousands of instructions per second, while supercomputers can reach billions or even tens of billions of times per second. With the development of science and technology, this speed is still increasing.

(3) The calculation accuracy is high.

In scientific research and engineering design, the accuracy of calculation results is very high. General calculation tools can only reach a few digits, while the accuracy of computer data processing results can reach more than ten or dozens of significant digits, and even arbitrary accuracy can be achieved according to needs. Because the computer uses binary to represent data, its accuracy mainly depends on the word length of the computer. The longer the word, the more significant digits and the higher the accuracy.

(4) Memory function with large storage capacity.

The memory of a computer has the function of storing and memorizing a large amount of information, which makes the computer have the ability of "memorizing". At present, the storage capacity of computers has reached gigabit or even higher, and it is still improving. Its "memory" function is an important difference from traditional computers.

(5) It has the function of logical judgment.

Computers not only have basic arithmetic ability, but also have logical judgment ability, which enables computers to perform tasks with logical processing properties such as data classification and information retrieval. This ability is the premise of computer processing logical reasoning.

In addition, the microcomputer has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low power consumption, powerful function, flexible use, convenient maintenance, high reliability, easy mastery and low price.
