Imagine a CPU like a sports car moving at 100kph. It holds 2 people and gets them to point B very very quickly.

Now imagine a GPU like a big ass bus moving at 10 kph. It can hold 50 people. But gets them to point B very slowly.

Basically, a CPU does a few things fast. And a GPU can do multiple things at the cost of speed.
