Jun 16th, 2025
In today’s computing landscape, different processors handle different workloads. CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs each excel in specific tasks, but how do they compare? Let’s break it down.
1. CPU (Central Processing Unit) – The "Brain" of the Computer
What It Does:
Handles general-purpose computing tasks (e.g., running an OS, apps, web browsing).
Excels at single-threaded performance (tasks requiring sequential processing).
Manages system operations, multitasking, and logic-based workloads.
Strengths:
✔ Versatile – Can handle almost any computing task.
✔ Low latency – Fast at decision-making and branch prediction.
✔ Optimized for serial tasks – Great for everyday computing.
Weaknesses:
❌ Not ideal for parallel tasks – Struggles with heavy multitasking or massive data...
