CPU vs GPU: Key Differences

CPUs consist of a few powerful cores optimized for serial processing tasks, while GPUs contain thousands of smaller cores designed for parallel processing. Specifically, GPUs are optimized for graphics applications involving large amounts of data parallelism like 3D games and AI, with hardware containing more arithmetic logic units than CPUs. While CPUs can run a variety of applications and provide fast response times, GPUs are built for graphics processing through programming frameworks like CUDA, OpenCL, and OpenACC that take advantage of their parallel architecture.
