The graphics processing unit, or GPU, has become one of the most important types of computing technology, both for personal and business computing. Designed for parallel processing, the GPU is used in a wide range of applications, including graphics and video rendering.

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

2024年6月20日 · A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit in a computer that speeds up the processing of images and videos in a computer system. Initially created for graphics tasks, GPUs have transformed into potent parallel processors with applications extending beyond visual computing.

2020年12月17日 · A GPU is purpose-built to process graphics information including an image's geometry, color, shading, and textures. Its RAM is also specialized to hold a large amount of information coming into the GPU and video data, known as …

2025年1月6日 · A graphics processing unit (graphical processing unit, GPU) is an electronic circuit designed to speed computer graphics and image processing on various devices. These devices include video cards, system boards, mobile phones and personal computers (PCs).

A GPU is a processor designed to handle graphics operations. This includes both 2D and 3D calculations, though GPUs primarily excel at rendering 3D graphics. Early PCs did not include GPUs, which meant the CPU had to handle all standard calculations and graphics operations.

A GPU provides the fastest graphics processing, and for gamers, the GPU is a must-have, stand-alone card plugged into a PCI Express (PCIe) slot on the motherboard.
