Understanding Stream Processors, CUDA Cores, and TPUs

CUDA Cores (NVIDIA):

• CUDA cores are essentially the parallel processing units inside NVIDIA GPUs. Think of them like tiny workers that handle multiple tasks at once, especially useful for graphics rendering and parallel computations in AI workloads.

Stream Processors (AMD):

• Stream processors are AMD’s equivalent to NVIDIA’s CUDA cores. They do a similar job—handling parallel tasks to process graphics and compute workloads. While the architecture differs,
