Description

GPU / accelerator card

A GPU or PCIe accelerator card that takes heavy parallel processing off the CPU; it comes in single-wide or double-wide form.

It is essential for training and inference of AI models, rendering, VDI and scientific computing.

The processing time of these workloads drops to a fraction of the time on the CPU.

This text is the general explanation of this category of part (not a claim about one specific model).
