Graphics chips, also known as graphics processing units (GPUs), are specialized hardware components designed to render images and videos on electronic devices. They handle complex calculations required for graphics rendering, allowing for smoother visuals and faster performance in applications like video games and graphic design software. These chips work alongside the main central processing unit (CPU) to offload graphics-related tasks, improving overall system efficiency. Modern GPUs can also support advanced features such as ray tracing and machine learning, enhancing the quality of graphics and enabling new technologies in various fields, including virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
