GPU

A GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is a specialized computer chip designed to handle visual and graphical tasks efficiently. It processes the complex calculations needed to render images, videos, and animations quickly, making visuals appear smooth and detailed. Unlike the main processor (CPU), which manages general tasks, the GPU is optimized for parallel processing, allowing it to perform many calculations simultaneously. This makes GPUs essential not only for gaming and graphics editing but also for high-performance computing tasks like artificial intelligence and scientific simulations.
