What is inside a computer? In this unit you will learn the basic electronic components that make computers work. Most of these components exist in all types of computers ranging from laptop PCs, desktops, gaming computers, tablet devices, servers, consoles, and even mobile phones.

Graphics processing units or “graphics cards” are devices focused on rendering images and generating 3D graphics.
They differ from CPUs in the number of cores and their power. While CPUs have few cores (less than 32) with high power, GPUs have lots of cores (tens of thousands) with less power. This renders them useful for matrix and vector calculations, which also makes them good for AI.
SoC = System on Chip (CPU + GPU + RAM)

If you are into electronics, you may have heard about MCU (Micro Controller Units).
This confusion increased with the appearance of the Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer (with a full CPU, so it is no a MCU).
