If GPUs are so much more powerful, why do we still use CPUs?

Another good analogy: Imagine you need to do 20000 simple addition problems, 6+2 for example. A cpu is 10 adults solving the problems, a gpu is like a thousand first graders

the random analogies always crack me up

In other words the car chasis is just the body, the engine is the brain

And when will we invent the plane ?

What if you had a fleet of superacars

I always thought of the gpu as the eyes and the CPU as a brain

And now we're getting NPUs

We are getting there. Integrated GPUs are getting better and better.

If water is so hydrating why do we need food

What if its a red sports car?

In the terms of gaming i like to think of it as a car moving fast and CPU being the tires and GPU the engine. No matter how much power an engine has, its pretty much useless with bad tires

Isn’t a GPU a video card? Why would you have a video card run the while system?

When you realize that an apu is a suped up cpu and that a cpus main purpose was ALSO the graphics back then 😮

They are basically the same except in modern computers the GPU handles large computations that do the rendering while the cpu calculates the smaller computations faster. Technically its possible for them to do each other job. But the analogy is good

What game is this?

Now imagine 100 busses with jet engines....

nice chatgpt answer

So if I take milions of CPU and make them work together...

Think of your GPU like a Koenigsegg Gemera, it's big, fast and may hurt when you put it in

Then why not get enaugh cpu's to be able to move a bunch og things quickly? 🤓💲💸
