APU vs CPU vs GPU - What’s The Difference? [Simple Guide] 

Correction: CPU clock does not mean higher performance as said in this video. And GHz isn't the amount of instructions processed per unit of time, it's the speed of the clock. Modern CPUs can handle more instructions per single clock cycle which allows for more performance on lower clock speeds. In the same fashion, it also depends on the number of cores. A dual-core 3.7GHz CPU from let's say 5 years ago will be significantly less performant than a modern 6-core CPU with a lower clock speed (e.g. 3.2GHz). Higher clock speed can only mean better performance if comparing CPUs from the same family and generation. And just as an example, if you look at server CPUs like Xeon you will notice they rarely go over 3.5GHz base clock (and this clock speed is also pretty constant during operation) whereas some desktop CPUs start at 4.5GHz-and the Xeons are far more powerful because they can do more calculations per single cycle.

technology just got more and more compact than ever. back in the day we have 1 ton of 5mb hard drive.

This was helpful... Thanks!

RU-vid recommendation brought me here again. Simplicity at its best! Thank you very much for the great content, Gaming Scan.

Nice informative, well made.

0:32 why is the stock photo a amd ryzen cpu held up to a intel socket

Whoever made this video made a mistake, Hz (Mhz, Ghz, etc) = Cycles per second which is much different than MIPS. MIPS is how many instructions per second. Some instructions require multiple cycles to complete which is why they usually go by MIPS in processing vs the clock speed. GPU equiv to MIPS would be FLOPS or Floating Point Operations Per Second.

Gotta say, you explain all of this wayyyyyy to good, I’m a dumb fuck for this kind of things and was easy to understand everything, already subscribed the content is priceless

0:55 THATS WHY YOU ARE HERE

I wish you grow faster than my second tech account

High quality video, thank you.

Now I know the difference

Long Simple Answer: GPU: VideoCard CPU: RAM APU: it's a Built-in processor... An CPU + GPU= Built-in. Only legend will understand this ;) not only the technician.

Thanks for this video 👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻

"it prefers to chill in it's batcave" thank you :D :D :D

I doubt each hertz equate one instruction .. but good for simplification .. nice !

helpful! thank you!

Super educational.... I want this channel to grow faster

Well explained tq☺️

We have had apus for a long time. *It’s called a CPU with integrated graphics.*

Congratulations for 💯 K!!!

I have an Athlon II with a GTX 1070. SUPER BOTTLENECK

Great video spoke a little fast but not bad

Very nice video -- I liked it, but I think you should've added a small note about Intel and AMD CPU's being the only two choices more or less applies *only* for notebook or desktop computers. After all, there are other brands and types of CPU's that are used on phones, tablets, and gaming consoles -- the various types of ARM CPU's come to mind. And there's a similar bit of "fine print" (so to speak) for GPU's. Don't get me wrong, I thought the video was fabulous, a great general explanation, but a very small mention of other things would have made it even better. It's just my opinion -- I don't mean to criticize too harshly

Very good explanation bravo

Isn't clock speed like the amount of times the CPU clock cycles per second? And the number of instructions per second is determined by instructions per clock cycle (IPC) and the clock speed? Edit: at 4:32 Edit2: overall good video though this part just confused me

Thank u so much your awesome

i just wanna buy a new laptop and get my money's worth but this was great and informative, thanks

Suppose I have Ryzen 3 3200G Apu installed and after 3-4 months I go for a GPU,will the graphics in APU work better with dedicated graphic card or it will only work with GPU and graphic in APU will stop working?I am really confused

Is it okay to combine apu and gpu And will it both work and perform more than their limit ?

I've seen many videos on some PC builds going up close to 300 fps, but on my build I'm only getting about 190fps. I don't know what I did wrong, but it seems to me that the GPU & CPU combo is not a good fit. I have a RX7900xtx with an i5-13600KF, so I can't turn ON S.A.M. unless I have and AMD CPU (according to a how to video) My RAM is a 5600Mhz twin of 32GB combo. I'll keep tweeking it and see how much I can get out of it. :(

Informative

Intel 9400f here, 6 core i5 ftw lol. I’m using a 1660 in my rig.

nice video

You should have waited until after Zen 2 drops. It had he potential to destroy intel further than zen+ did

Hey guys can u make a method and post it on youtube which tells how to fix frame drops on pc ? i get 90% cpu usage i got no idea how to fix it , all youtube methods were useless

Thank you for the teachering, smart girl.

I have a Ryzen 5 2600x GeForce 1070ti ultra silent.. is that good ?

It's a good video for absolute beginners, but it misses out on a lot you should know.

Explained like a school teacher should.

Do I have to get an i3???

Can u test apu+gpu vs cpu+gpu at same price level??????

I'm trying to make a 300eur build, should I use a apu or a cpu and gpu?

Do any of these fix lag because I’m new to this stuff

I have ryzen 3 3200g and rx 580 8gb 16gb ram (8x2) // BOTTLENECK?

also watch mythbuster demo gpu vs cpu. you will understand the rendering difference of both.

6:49 what's Jordi al Nino doing there? 🤔

Sister you are doing gooood

I currently have a GTX1050 in my laptop but my game is still very laggy, would getting a APU help much? Or are they about as good as what I already have? Thank you in advanced 🙏

Be aware The woman knows

I bought a gaming pc that comes with an Ryzen 5 4600g (APU) and a gtx 1650 super so the best thing is I can use my apu to record gameplay and use my gtx 1650 super to play games and still have a lot of FPS

I really wish there was channel like this for school subjects it was so good and i know exactly what each pu is and does

Your voice is so good

Hey guys, which of these is better for gaming: Ryzen 5 + GTX 1660 Ryzen 7 + GTX 1650 Please help me out🙃

I have a rx 580, any upgrade recommendations?

Is APU an integrated graphics or something

If I bought a apu where will I plug in my monitor

I think u got something wrong buddy.... *An Auxiliary Power Unit or APU allows an aircraft to operate autonomously without reliance on ground support equipment such as a ground power unit, an external air-conditioning unit or a high pressure air start cart.* Tbf i found this on google even tough i know what a aircraft APU is, i just searched it bcuz ive never heard sombody use the word APU when talking about computers. edit1: I found out what it is but i think ima keep this comment.

Do I need a cpu gpu and graphics card when am making my computer

If you need any help with your videos let me know

7:38 i start wondering about the sources...

I searched up simpsons apu and this came up

What if you get a gpu along with an apu?

Can u play games if u have a good cpu and got good gpu?

7:54 and intel...

Apu: amd Cpu: *intel*

so i’m building a pc and idk what to get, a cpu gpu apu or all?

CPU all function units

APU: On Planes CPU and GPU: Computers

Was here

intergrated graphics are getting better

i bought a game for 20 dollars and it keps telling me you are useing internal gpu i bought beamNG.drive from stream and i lag idk why i bought it on cyber monday well my dad did its lagging

Only when a woman explains I learn thanks fr being clear

👍

People are saying this is a good explanation but i’m dumb so i need someone to explain to me the cpu and gpu in a dumb way

Cpu

Seems like I clicked the wrong video. (I meant the aviation one)

I think you should've used graphics card graphics card is used way more than gpu

I only asked which is best. What the shit do I care what they are. If I wanted to go to school I would have. Which is best one question. I need one answer. Anyone have it?!

cpu might be the brain for pc but without a body you wont play the game and the body is the graficard which shows the actual gameplay

A cpu with more GhZ isn't always faster than a cpu with less GhZ...... Amd a10 CPUs have like 3,8 GHz and suck ass against alot of CPUs that have less than 3 ghz

I got an apu for your CPU

Navidia [(playstation)] [microsoft (xbox dedcrat) ] inteal (discrate

You forgot NPU...

Do I need a GPU if I have a CPU

is all of them too much to ask

*APU **6:05** cut through the bullshit.*

Chiste and gup

Bat cave bat cave.....ugh smh

Well I didn't know woman care about computers

Jigareto bokhoram kalak :*

ayyo baby mama leme smash

Too much talking

next time EQ your voice ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
