GPU
Video card brain
GPU stands for graphics processing unit, a specialized processor designed to render images and video.
Originally built for gaming and visual applications, GPUs excel at performing many calculations simultaneously.
This parallel processing power has made them essential for machine learning, cryptocurrency mining, and scientific computing.
My laptop's GPU can't handle modern games.
