A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized processor designed to handle graphics and image processing tasks efficiently. It significantly boosts performance in areas such as gaming, 3D modeling, video rendering, and artificial intelligence. Located on a graphics card, it works alongside the CPU to manage demanding visual and computational tasks.
A CPU (Central Processing Unit) is often referred to as the “brain” of a computer or electronic device. It interprets incoming instructions and executes arithmetic and logical operations. Core count and clock speed (measured in GHz) are key factors that determine a CPU’s performance.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a high-speed memory where data is temporarily stored on computers or electronic devices. The operating system and applications use RAM to keep frequently accessed data readily available. This allows the CPU to quickly retrieve needed information, improving overall performance.
