what is a gpu (Graphic processing unit)

A CPU is like a master chef with a small team of skilled cooks, each handling unique tasks in real time. And a GPU is like a industrial bakery line where hundreds or thousands of workers each perform the same step, like frosting cakes side by side. Its simpler cores excel at executing identical instructions across massive datasets. High bandwidth VRAM (video randomaccess memory) serves like a giant flour silo, feeding the assembly line with a constant stream of raw materials.

Together, the CPU and GPU resemble a restaurant’s head chef and bakery wing where one provides versatility and vigilance for unpredictable orders, the other delivers volume through repetitive precision. The CPU adapts to varied instructions with minimal delay, while the GPU powers through parallel tasks at blistering speed. Their collaboration balances agility with throughput, fueling the demands of modern applications.
