CPU vs. GPU<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both are processors for specific domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/th>\nCPU<\/th>\nGPU<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Core number<\/th>\nOne up to a few<\/td>\nHuge number<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Clock time<\/th>\nHigher<\/td>\nLower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Instruction set<\/th>\nMore complex<\/td>\nLess complex<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Domains<\/th>\nGeneral-purpose computing<\/td>\nRendering, Big data, Machine learning<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Examples<\/th>\nIntel Core, AMD Ryzen<\/td>\nAMD Radeon, NVIDIA GeForce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

A CPU is like having a few PhDs. A GPU is like having an army of kindergarteners. Want to calculate complex math? Hand it to the PhDs. Want to draw color by numbers? Hand it to the kindergarteners.<\/p>\n

CISC vs. RISC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both are instruction set architectures (ISA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/th>\nCISC<\/th>\nRISC<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Number of instructions<\/td>\nLess<\/td>\nMore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Complexity of instructions<\/td>\nHigher<\/td>\nLower<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Instruction size<\/td>\nVariable<\/td>\nFixed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Instruction execution time<\/td>\n≥ One clock cycle<\/td>\nOne clock cycle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Code size<\/td>\nSmaller<\/td>\nLarger<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
RAM consumption<\/td>\nLower<\/td>\nHigher<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Typical manufacturer<\/td>\nAMD \/ Intel<\/td>\nARM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Typical devices<\/td>\nDesktop computers<\/td>\nMobile devices<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Usually with a RISC processor the physical size is smaller and the power consumption is lower, than with a CISC processor.<\/p>\n

32-bit vs. 64-bit<\/strong><\/p>\n
