The foundation of CPU revolves around low latency whereas GPU has to provide high performance throughout.

You could say the CPU is the brain and the GPU is the eyes.

Your brain understands the world, how it functions, physics, etc.

While your eye is creating the images, you see in the world.

What is a CPU(Central Processing Unit)?

CPU orCentral Processing Unitis the brain of any electronically embedded unit.

It consists of two functioning units ALUandCU.

The first company to develop a CPU is Intel, named 4004 chip which was the first 4-bit CPU.

It is the responsibility of the CPU to execute the information received from the memory.

A system bus is a collection of various buses such as data, address, and control bus.

What is a GPU(Graphics Processing Unit)/Graphics Card?

It is required to experience the high-end graphics display.

The discreetly working GPU Unit has its RAM called VRAM which is used to display videos.

The graphics units were first introduced by Intel and IBM in 1980.

The GPU is today working parallel with the CPU.

In the GPU several processing units are stripped together where no cache coherency exists.

Functions Of GPU :

Is GPU & Graphics Card the Same?

Yes and no, one does not function without the other.

CPU is optimized for serial operations since its clock is very high.

GPU is optimized for parallel operations.

Conclusion

Suppose you want to know whether the CPU is important in electronic devices or GPU.

Thats because the existence of both units depends upon each other.
