📅 - CPUs, GPUs, and the New Frontiers of AI Hardware - For decades, the central processing unit, or CPU, has been the undisputed foundation of enterprise computing. It powered everything from mainframes and PCs to the cloud servers that run the digital economy. But as artificial intelligence (AI) workloads redefine what ‘compute' really means, the CPU's once-singular dominance is being challenged by a growing family of specialized processors.
Graphics processing units (GPUs), neural processors, tensor units, and language-focused accelerators are now essential to the new computational hierarchy that supports machine learning, analytics, and generative AI.
While GPUs tend to dominate the conversation, CPUs remain indispensable in modern [...]
