Graphics cards, or GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), are one of the most important components of modern computers, responsible for rendering images, video, and animations in real-time.

Engineers are harnessing the powers of graphics processing units (GPUs) and more, with a bevy of tricks to meet the computational demands of artificial intelligence. Engineers are harnessing the ...

Originally designed to accelerate computer image processing, graphics processing units (GPUs) are specialized circuits typically used primarily for gaming. With the boom in generative AI, though ...

A CPU, or central processing unit, handles all of the logical and arithmetic operations that take place as you use your computer. The GPU, on the other hand, handles graphical operations.

So, which components of a desktop PC should be upgraded first and most frequently? Which upgrade delivers the greatest increase in performance and what costs can be expected?

Chipmaker and AI leader Nvidia revealed its most advanced consumer graphics processor unit, its first desktop computer, and artificial intelligence to better train robots and cars.

To power artificial-intelligence products, start-ups and investors are taking extraordinary measures to obtain critical chips known as graphics processing units, or GPUs.

We need to wait for the next era of handheld APUs—AKA accelerated processing units—to see if their performance matches up with an external graphics card and makes the setup worth the cost.
