protsessoriga

Protsessoriga is an Estonian-language term used to describe devices that include an on-board processor. The word is formed from protsessor (processor) with the instrumental suffix -iga, indicating that the device comes with or contains a processor.

In product specifications, protsessoriga is used to distinguish devices capable of executing software, running firmware, or performing onboard data processing from simpler, non-programmable models. Such devices typically have built-in memory and software support, enabling features like connectivity, a user interface, or automated control. By contrast, devices described as protsessorita or without a processor generally rely on an external system for processing or perform only basic mechanical tasks.

The presence of a processor has implications for design and maintenance, including software updates, power consumption, security considerations, and the potential to run applications or custom firmware. In contemporary electronics, many household and industrial devices—printers, smart TVs, thermostats, cameras, and various Internet of Things devices—are described as protsessoriga to reflect their self-contained processing capabilities. The term is most commonly encountered in technical documentation, product catalogs, and marketing materials that aim to differentiate self-contained devices from those needing external processing resources.

Related phrases in Estonian include protsessoriga varustus (processor-equipped) and protsessorita toode (processorless product), which are used in slightly varying contexts to convey similar meanings.
