Well, all what CPUs do is copying memory from one memory location to another, perform some arithmetic and do some conditional jumps :-)

(sung to this tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iENQXIQ8wH0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iENQXIQ8wH0 ) Side note: It really is incredible what happened in the early days of computing when memory and computation were limited. How much care was taken in the precise layout of memory or even the timing of a calculation was insane.
