If anything it's GPU's that are specialized to address a narrow set of problems.
- dragontamer 5y agoYou might want to reread the paragraph. > CPUs are highly specialized in computational speed and have a broad range of low-level instructions. GPUs are quite the opposite, because they are slower and simpler, but focuses on parallelization (high number of cores), and have a more limited set of instructions. ------- The only thing I'd change is that I'd say that "CPUs are specialized in computational latency", because speed is an ambiguous word with regards to performance. Latency is more specific and a better description of how CPUs specialize. GPUs are of course the opposite: GPUs specialize in bandwidth rather than latency.
