Why are GPUs so big, while CPUs are so small?
In: Engineering
In addition to what was already said. Talking about the actual die (silicon chip), CPUs are alright at anything, very general purpose, GPUs perform relatively easy calculations many times, imagine calculating what colour a pixel should be, 8 million pixels (for 4k) at a time, 60 times a second. GPUs have a lot of cores. 4090 has 16384 cores compared to very high end CPU having measely 16-32 cores
