How a GPU works: thousands of tiny cores, one step at once

How a GPU works: thousands of tiny cores, one step at once

A GPU wins by doing the same step everywhere at once.

A 16-core CPU would give each core 129,600 pixels of a full HD frame. An RTX 4090 has 16,384 small cores, so each gets 127, and one instruction runs on all of them together.

Send it to whoever still thinks a GPU is just a faster CPU.
