  DefiNITIOn  graphics processing unit (GPU) A  graphics processing unit  ( GPU ) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device. GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics and image processing. Their highly parallel structure makes them more efficient than general-purpose central processing units (CPUs) for algorithms that process large blocks of data in parallel. In a personal computer, a GPU can be present on a video card or embedded on the motherboard. In certain CPUs, they are embedded on the CPU die. [1] In the 1970s, the term "GPU" originally stood for graphi...

  CPU  A processor (CPU) is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic  instructions  that drive a computer. The CPU is seen as the main and most crucial integrated circuitry ( IC ) chip in a computer, as it is responsible for interpreting most of computers commands. CPUs will perform most basic arithmetic, logic and I/O operations, as well as allocate commands for other chips and components running in a computer. The term  processor  is  used interchangeably  with the term central processing unit ( CPU ), although strictly speaking, the CPU is not the only processor in a computer. The  GPU  (graphics processing unit) is the most notable example, but the hard drive and other devices within a computer also perform some processing independently. Nevertheless, the term  processor  is generally understood to mean the CPU. Processors can be found in PCs, smartphones, tablets and othe...
