## Caption

A CPU and GPU can be given the exact same visual task, but the way they attack it is completely different.

In this classic NVIDIA demo, the Mona Lisa is rendered pixel by pixel to show the contrast. CPUs are built to handle a smaller number of complex tasks extremely well, while GPUs are designed to run huge numbers of simpler calculations at the same time.

That massive parallelism is why GPUs became so important for graphics, scientific computing, and now modern AI.

In the demonstration, the GPU completes the Mona Lisa render in just 80 milliseconds.

That doesn’t mean GPUs are always better than CPUs. They’re designed for different jobs. But when a task can be split into thousands of calculations running in parallel, the difference can be dramatic.
