What is GPU?
Learn more
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.
