What is the function of a graphics processing unit (GPU) in modern computing systems?
A GPU is a specialized processor designed to accelerate rendering graphics and performing parallel processing tasks, particularly useful in gaming, video editing, AI, and scientific computing by handling intensive computations in parallel.
The motherboard serves as the central hub that connects and allows communication between all computer components, including the CPU, memory, storage devices, and peripherals, providing the necessary circuits and connectors for system functionality.
