Difference between CPU, FPU, GPU?


Both the CPU, FPU and GPU are microprocessors that are responsible for different tasks not only on MS Windows 11, 10, ...! 



The CPU, FPU and GPU



FPU 

is an abbreviation for Floating Point Unit.

The FPU is a special processor that performs operations on  floating point numbers. It used to be a separate stand-alone processor that acted as the coprocessor of the CPU for floating point calculations. It is now a component of the CPU or is integrated in the main processor.


CPU 

is an abbreviation for Central Processing Unit.

A computer's CPU processes all of the instructions that the main processor receives from the hardware and software running on the computer. The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer, but this is not entirely correct, because without the appropriate software, the sometimes enormous computing power is worthless.


GPU 

is an abbreviation for Graphics Processing Unit 

The graphics processor, which used to have no computing capabilities of its own and was a pure output device  , is now also a processor that has enormous computing power and often surpasses the main processor. 
For 2D and 3D display, the calculations are now done directly in the GPU, thus accelerating the display. The graphics processors, like the FPU, can be integrated in the CPU.

The most powerful are of course still built into the computer as separate hardware known as video cards / graphics cards. With a separate processor, the GPU allows the computer's CPU resources to be used for other important tasks.
