A graphics processing unit (GPU) is specialized for rendering graphics and handling complex visual tasks, while a central processing unit (CPU) is more versatile and handles general computing tasks. GPUs excel at parallel processing and are optimized for graphics-intensive applications, while CPUs are better suited for sequential tasks and overall system management.
A Central Processing Unit is the main processor in a computer that processes all the logic statements put to it. It is responsible for all the processing of the computer unless there is another process that does the job like a Graphics Processing Unit or Physics Processing Unit.
The CPU IS the computers processing unit as CPU stands for "Central Processing Unit"
