Ah, the perfect visualization of modern computing architecture! The CPU is that one beefy strongman running away from a truck—handling tasks one at a time with brute force. Meanwhile, the GPU is literally a plane-load of people working in parallel.

Your CPU is like that overworked middle manager who insists on doing everything himself. Sure, he's powerful, but he's still just one dude running for his life.

Your GPU? That's the "let's throw a small army at the problem" approach. Individually weaker, but there's like 3000 of them, and they don't care about taking lunch breaks.

And this, friends, is why your fancy gaming rig can render realistic explosions but still freezes when you open Excel.
