RE: Microprocessor Vs. Microcontroller
Yes you are right but I believe he compared this two very distinct things in order to clarify things especially for the people who have little knowledge about electronics. Not all people have the same capabilities and understanding of the things that surround them. Let's say for example, if I am not an Electronics Engineering student, I would be confused which is which. When I am not yet studying Electronics, for me, they all look the same. I appreciate your comment though :) thanks.
Thank you for anwser.
For me this comparison is non-sense, for example MPU is an memory protection unit which guards data RAM, preventing any incorrect access to it. I think that this is a typo as he is describing CPU not just an MPU.
Hi @jarric. Good day sir! The blog just refer to the comparison between microprocessor and a microcontroller. I am discussing MPU AND MCU not MCU and CPU. The spelling though is not the same. Well thanks for noticing this blog. :) Have a good day!
I am trying to point out that you do not abbreviate a microprocessor as MPU but as CPU. MPU is solely reserved for Memory Protection Unit and it might confuse some people.

Now I get you. That's what I just learned from my teacher though! anyway, thanks for commenting
I'm sorry. I didn't make it clear enough.
