#5 Why GPUs (Graphical processing Unit) instead of CPUs (Computer Processing Unit). Planning on a major 3D visual for the chatbot? One does graphics, the other calculates orbital flights for spacecraft (and your excel budget spreadsheet)

#6 One does graphics, the other calculates orbital flights for spacecraft (and your excel budget spreadsheet)

This was true in the olden days, when Excel VisiCalc was the new New Thing. But the modern GPU has evolved into a machine for doing a *bleep*load of vector math operations in parallel, all at once, really fast. At its heart, modern AI is number-crunching and anyone crunching big piles of numbers uses a GPU for speed.

#7 GPUs are reduced infrastructure while CPUs require complex coding to function well, GPUs use simpler coding to chive their function. A lot of it also has to do with memory management, CPUs has a complex memory management scheme with multiple layers of unrelated codes here and there in memory, while GPUs tend to have "page style" memory scheme with one primary code laid out in memory at a time and have several pages ready to switch at once.

At least this is in a nutshell. Actual usage is a bit more complex, but end result is that GPUs can execute codes much faster than CPUs in a given cycle.

Not sure how to make this simpler, but there it is.
