A microcontroller is an integrated circuit that contains a microprocessor, memory, and peripheral interfaces all on a single chip. It's designed to control specific tasks in an embedded system, such as controlling a motor or reading a sensor and typically has limited computing power.
A microprocessor, on the other hand, is a single integrated circuit that only contains the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. It's designed to be part of a larger system, such as a personal computer or a server, and has much more computing power than a microcontroller. The microprocessor relies on external memory and other components to perform its tasks.
