Afaik, gpu cores a very stripped down cpu cores that do basic math, but what sort of math can cpus do that gpus can’t

I’m talking, cpu core vs Tensor/Cuda cores.

    The eli5 is that one is like a very strong man, capable of carrying large objects or pulling a car.

    The other is like a man with a thousand arms. They might not be very strong, but they can carry a thousand plates.

      I like this one the best, only problem with this analogy is there is no common ground between pulling a car and carrying plates in terms of goal achieved.

      How about a CPU can swing one 1000 pound hammer while a GPU can swing 1000 1 pound hammers?
