CPU vs GPU vs TPU<br><br>Why does the same code run fast on a GPU, slow on a CPU, and leave both behind on a TPU? The answer is architecture. CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs are designed for different workloads.<br><br>CPU (Central Processing Unit): The CPU handles general-purpose computing. It's built for low latency and complex control flow, branching logic, system calls, interrupts, and decision-heavy code. <br><br>Operating systems, databases, and most applications run on the CPU because they need t...
