Comparison between Microprocessor & Microcontroller

Microprocessors                                                                                          Microcontrollers
1	It is only a general purpose computer CPU	It is a micro computer itself
2	Memory, I/O ports, timers, interrupts are not available inside the chip	All are integrated inside the microcontroller chip
3	This must have many additional digital components to perform its operation	Can function as a micro computer without any additional components.
4	Systems become bulkier and expensive.	Make the system simple, economic and compact
5	Not capable for handling Boolean functions	Handling Boolean functions
6	Higher accessing time required	Low accessing time
7	Very few pins are programmable	Most of the pins are programmable
8	Very few number of bit handling instructions	Many bit handling instructions
9	Widely Used in modern PC  and laptops	widely in small control systems
