GPU definition
A GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is the chip responsible for handling graphics and visual processing in a device. While the CPU manages general tasks, the GPU is built to deal with heavy visual workloads such as gaming, video editing, animations, camera processing, and UI graphics.
GPUs are extremely good at handling many small tasks at the same time. This makes them ideal for rendering images, processing high-resolution videos, and running modern mobile games smoothly. In smartphones, the GPU is part of the main chipset (like Snapdragon, Apple A-series, or MediaTek Dimensity). In laptops and PCs, it can be built-in (integrated GPU) or available as a separate, more powerful graphics card (dedicated GPU).
A strong GPU is important for anyone who plays mobile or PC games, streams high-quality videos, or works with graphics-heavy apps.
