GPUs are specialized electronic circuits designed to accelerate the creation of images, videos, and other visual content. In gaming, GPUs are responsible for rendering the game world and characters, creating realistic lighting and shadows, and applying various visual effects.

Intel Iris Xe is a CPU integrated graphics architecture, while NVIDIA CUDA, AMD GCN, and ARM Mali are dedicated GPU architectures.

Transistor count refers to the number of transistors packed into a GPU die. It is a measure of the overall computational power and complexity of the GPU.

DDR5 is a type of system memory used in computers, while GDDR6, HBM2, and VRAM are specialized types of GPU memory designed for high-bandwidth and low-latency graphics processing.

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the path of light rays as they travel through a scene, allowing for realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections.

Data mining is a process of extracting knowledge from large datasets, typically unrelated to graphics processing. Video editing, 3D animation, and virtual reality are all common applications of GPUs in the entertainment industry.

GPU parallelization refers to the process of breaking down a complex rendering task into smaller, independent tasks that can be executed concurrently on multiple GPU cores.

Passive cooling relies on heat dissipation through conduction and convection, without the use of fans or other active cooling mechanisms. Air cooling, liquid cooling, and vapor chamber cooling are all active cooling systems that use fans or pumps to circulate air or liquid to remove heat from the GPU.

Photogrammetry is the process of creating 3D models from 2D images by analyzing the perspective and geometry of the objects in the images.

Ray tracing is a rendering technique, not a physics simulation technique. Rigid body dynamics, fluid simulation, and soft body dynamics are all common types of GPU-accelerated physics simulations.

Facial animation refers to the process of creating realistic facial expressions and movements for characters in real-time, typically using a combination of motion capture data and procedural animation techniques.

JPEG is an image compression format, not a video codec. H.264, HEVC, and VP9 are all common types of GPU-accelerated video codecs.

Grooming refers to the process of creating and styling realistic hair and fur in computer graphics, typically using specialized software tools.

Ray tracing is a rendering technique, not an artificial intelligence algorithm. Deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing are all common types of GPU-accelerated artificial intelligence algorithms.

Crowd simulation refers to the process of creating realistic simulations of large groups of characters, typically using a combination of procedural animation techniques and physics-based simulations.
