      A CPU performs liner math.

      A GPU performs floating-point math.

      Those are only two of the 18-52 cores (model dependent) of Apple M chips. The OS is designed around this for maximum efficiency. Most Macs don’t even have a fan anymore.

      There. Is. No. Comparison. In. PC.

        A GPU performs floating-point math.

        A GPU performs integer math.

        A CPU performs floating point math.

        All four statements are true.
