The results of these manipulations are then stored in the computer memory. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): A specialized processor that offloads 3D or 2D graphics rendering from the CPU. Their highly parallel structure makes them more effective than general-purpose CPUs for a range of complex algorithms. Wiki
