CPUs have been around for forever as the heart of computers....then came GPUs to enable cool real time graphics...and later bitcoin mining...then some clever folks figured out how train AIs on them...which leads to a new explosion of processing units tuned specifically for AI development (see Google's TPUs, Apple's Neural Engines, Meta's MTIAs).
Why do we have them all? And what the heck do they all mean? And why should we care?
Come explore a bit of the magic and differences amongst these different types of processing units that is powering your phones, games, and the explosion in AI development!
