Why does the CPU have to be destroyed? Does it retain data
permanently?

Also what exactly is a "carrier"?

The CPU chip has cache memory in it; if one believe traces of old
data are stored in RAM memories, than one must suspect the
CPU chip too.

Is it to possible to design a functional CPU that does not contain any
RAM or cache?

What would happen if the RAM of the CPU were replaced with mask-
programmed ROM?

Grace does!
