<h3>Central Processing Unit (CPU)</h3>
85+
<p>This is the brain of a computer. <u>It recives input information and executes commands from other hardware and software.</u> It is made up of the main memory, the control unit, and the arithmetic logic unit.</p>

<h3>Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)</h3>
88+
<p>This part of a computer focuses on graphics. Graphics are images of all kinds (pictures, animations, videos). <u>The GPU delivers images, animations, and videos that can be viewed on the computers screen.</u> If you want to use the best picture quality for your favourite computer game, you'll need a high-end GPU to make the graphics look good.</p>

<p>Think of the CPU as a jack-of-all-trades (like a handyman) and the GPU as the master of a trade (like a plumber). The CPU is great for completing a variety of everyday tasks well; the GPU specializes in processing display information quickly. You wouldn't want a handyman to replace all the pipes in your home. Instead, you'd want your plumber to use his or her special skills to perform that task.</p>
