Low Cost - Due to integrated circuit technology microprocessors are available at very low cost. It will reduce the cost of a computer system.
- High Speed - Due to the technology involved in it, the microprocessor can work at very high speed. It can execute millions of instructions per second.
- Small Size - A microprocessor is fabricated in a very less footprint due to very large scale and ultra large scale integration technology. Because of this, the size of the computer system is reduced.
- Versatile - The same chip can be used for several applications, therefore, microprocessors are versatile.
- Low Power Consumption - Microprocessors are using metal oxide semiconductor technology, which consumes less power.
- Less Heat Generation - Microprocessors uses semiconductor technology which will not emit much heat as compared to vacuum tube devices.
- Reliable - Since microprocessors use semiconductor technology, therefore, the failure rate is very less. Hence it is very reliable.
- Portable - Due to the small size and low power consumption microprocessors are portable
