A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized processor designed to perform many calculations simultaneously. While it was originally built for rendering graphics, GPUs are now widely used for:

  • 🎮 Gaming: Renders 3D graphics and improves frame rates.
  • 🤖 Artificial Intelligence: Trains and runs machine learning models much faster than CPUs.
  • 🎥 Video Editing & Rendering: Speeds up effects, encoding, and rendering.
  • 🔬 Scientific Computing: Accelerates simulations and data analysis.
  • ⛏️ Cryptocurrency Mining: Performs the repetitive calculations needed for some cryptocurrencies.
