CPU and GPU are two frequent terms used in the modern world of technology usually in gaming. You may have heard gamers talking about how powerful his/her CPU/GPU is. So, in this article you will be getting information about CPUs and GPUs.

So, as all of us know that CPU is the main component of the computer. If it is not there, the computer will not run. The CPU makes the computer versatile by having potential to run many applications and do many operations at the same time. But, the GPU is not that versatile like the CPU. Its one and only sole purpose is to render graphics. GPU helps to run resource hungry games. The best GPU till date is the Nvidia’s GTX 1080 series. The best CPU till date is the Intel i9 processors.

Therefore, CPU is a versatile component but the GPU is only for rendering graphics and giving an optimised graphics experience while using some games.
