The difference between a CPU and a GPU is that a CPU stands for central processing unit: (computer science) the part of a computer (a microprocessor chip) that does most of the data processing; "the CPU and the memory from the CPU and the memory form the central part of a computer to which the peripherals are attached". GPU stands for a graphics processing unit (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized processor that offloads #D graphics rendering from the microprocessor. It is used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

CPU GPU bottleneck calculator?

A bottleneck occurs when one hardware component in a PC cannot keep up with the processing demands of another. This is particularly common between the CPU and GPU. If the CPU is too weak compared to the GPU, it will struggle to send data fast enough, reducing gaming frame rates and overall responsiveness. Conversely, if the GPU is underpowered relative to the CPU, it may not be able to fully utilize the processor’s capabilities

Why does Xbox get rrod?

The xbox 360 typically red rings when the cpu (or gpu, cant remember which) over heats. It does this to prevent the cpu/gpu from destroying itslef. This usually occurs if the cooling fans somehow fail or the protective thermal paste that is around the gpu/cpu starts to lose it heat protection.
