3 Companies Benefiting From the Gold Rush in GPUs

A GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images and video. GPUs were originally designed to accelerate the rendering of 3D graphics in video games, but their use has expanded to other applications such as scientific simulations, artificial intelligence, and cryptocurrency mining.

GPUs are typically more specialized and powerful than the central processing unit (CPU) found in most computers. While CPUs are designed to handle a broad range of tasks, GPUs are optimized to handle large amounts of parallel processing, making them particularly effective at handling tasks that require a lot of data to be processed simultaneously.
