| μP have many operational codes for moving data and performing operations, but it has only few bit-handling instructions. | μC have one or two operational codes for moving data from and performing operations, but it has many bit- handling instructions. |
| μP is concerned with rapid movement of code and data from external addresses to the chip. | μC is concerned with rapid movement of bits within the chip. |
| μP need external digital parts (Hardware) to perform its tasks as computer. | μC can function as computer without addition of external digital parts. |
| μP are used in general purpose computing devices, supports wide range of applications with general hardware. | μC are used in embedded systems and supports only dedicated applications with customized hardware. |
