Every Processing Unit Explained in 12 Minutes!

Ten types of processing units inside modern devices — CPU, GPU, NPU, DPU, DSP, VPU, ISP, PPU, SPU, and IPU — each one explained by what problem it was built to solve, how it works differently from a general-purpose chip, and whether it actually matters to you. From the head chef that runs everything to a physics chip that existed for two years before Nvidia absorbed it entirely. Some of these live in every phone and laptop you've ever owned without you knowing. Others only exist in data centers and warehouse robots. One was designed from scratch for AI by a company that got acquired because having better hardware means nothing when your competitor owns the software ecosystem. And the chip that matters most in your system probably isn't the one you spent the most money on. ------------------------------------------------------------- #ProcessingUnits #CPUvsGPU #TechExplained
