How is the architecture different in a GPU versus a CPU?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
A GPU's architecture is designed for massive parallelism, featuring thousands of lightweight cores that execute simple instructions across vast data elements simultaneously-ideal for tasks like AI training. In contrast, a CPU has fewer, complex cores optimized for sequential execution and branching logic. GPUs don' t function as PCIe controllers (a hardware role), nor are they single-core designs, making the parallel execution focus the key differentiator.
