🔥 instruction set architecture → A CPU realizes an ISA by implementing its opcodes, registers, addressing modes, and execution semantics, making the ISA usable by software; the ISA’s practical availability depends on CPUs that implement it.

🔥 arithmetic logic unit → The ALU is an integrated subcomponent within the CPU; it relies on the CPU’s control unit, register file, and instruction decoding to receive operands and control signals, execute arithmetic/logic operations, and return results via CPU-managed data paths.
