GPU / (n.) / 圖形處理器

解釋：A graphics processing unit or GPU (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized processor that offloads 3D graphics rendering from the microprocessor. It is used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics, and their highly parallel structure makes them more effective than general-purpose CPUs for a range of complex algorithms. In a personal computer, a GPU can be present on a video card, or it can be on the motherboard. More than 90% of new desktop and notebook computers have integrated GPUs, which are usually far less powerful than those on a dedicated video card.

中文翻譯：“圖形”重定向這裡。作其他用途，看到的GPU(GPU)（消歧義）。 一個圖形處理單元或圖形（有時也稱為視覺處理裝置或繪圖晶片）是一種專門的處理器，可以降低3D圖形渲染的微處理器。這是用在嵌入式系統，移動電話，個人電腦，工作站，以及遊戲機等。現代GPU是非常有效的操縱計算機圖形，其高度並行結構，使它們更有效地比通用CPU內有一系列的複雜的算法。在個人電腦，處理器可以在目前的視頻卡，也可以是在主板上。超過90％的新的台式機和筆記本電腦的集成圖形處理器，通常遠遠低於功能比在專用的視頻卡。(Source：Google翻譯)
