The decoding stage is where the CPU analyzes the instruction and encodes it in the form of a number, and then generates an electronic signal to execute the instruction. The fetch stage retrieves the instruction from memory, and the execute stage carries out the instruction. The portability stage is not a stage in the CPU processing cycle.
