GPUs use parallel processing while CPUs use serial. GPUs have many more cores than CPUs which allows them to process several small tasks at a time; while, CPUs are better at processing one large task at a time. These differences contribute to the die size of both the GPU and CPU making modern GPUs larger in size.
