    I have been doing research and I think I have found a fundamental difference. A GPU can process multiple items of data in one instruction in parallel. A CPU can process only a single item of data for each instruction. If a GPU has 100 core then it could process 100 pixels (items of data) at a time using the same instruction. The data might be different but what would be done to each one would be the same.

    CPU vs GPU
    Central Processing Unit Graphics Processing Unit
    Several cores Many cores
    Low latency High throughput
    Good for serial processing Good for parallel processing
    Can do a handful of operations at once Can do thousands of operations at once

    The primary difference between a CPU and GPU is that a CPU handles all the main functions of a computer, whereas the GPU is a specialized component that excels at running many smaller tasks at once. The CPU and GPU are both essential, silicon-based microprocessors in modern computers.

    A CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) are both microprocessors, but they are designed to handle different tasks.

    A CPU is designed to handle a wide variety of tasks, including basic arithmetic, logic operations, and controlling the other components of a computer. CPUs are optimized to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, and they can switch between tasks quickly. They are generally more flexible but not as efficient as GPUs when it comes to performing specific types of calculations.

    On the other hand, a GPU is designed to handle the complex calculations needed to render images and videos. GPUs are optimized to perform a large number of simple mathematical operations in parallel, making them much faster than CPUs for these types of tasks. GPUs are typically used in computer graphics, video processing, scientific simulations, and artificial intelligence applications that require a lot of parallel processing power.

    In summary, a CPU is a general-purpose processor that is capable of handling a wide range of tasks, while a GPU is a specialized processor that is optimized for handling specific types of calculations, such as those needed for graphics rendering and scientific simulations.

    CPU (central processing unit) is a generalized processor that is designed to carry out a wide variety of tasks. GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized processing unit with enhanced mathematical computation capability, ideal for computer graphics and machine-learning tasks.

    A CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) are both types of processors that are used to perform computations, but they are designed for different purposes.

    The CPU is the "brain" of a computer and is responsible for executing most instructions that the computer receives. It is designed to handle a wide range of tasks, including managing the computer's operations and executing software applications. CPUs typically have a few cores, with each core capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously (multithreading), and they are optimized for executing complex instructions and making decisions.

    On the other hand, GPUs are designed specifically to handle the complex mathematical calculations that are required for rendering images and videos. They have many more processing cores than CPUs and are optimized for parallel processing, which allows them to perform many calculations simultaneously. As a result, GPUs can perform certain types of computations much faster than CPUs.

    In summary, CPUs are more versatile and are optimized for handling a wide range of tasks, while GPUs are specialized and optimized for performing complex mathematical calculations quickly.
