ITPEC IP April 2026 — Question 12 of 100
GPU and graphics — a graphics processing unit is a processor specialized for graphics calculations.
A GPU performs the many similar calculations needed to render images. Basic graphics capability is often integrated into the CPU or system chip. For demanding graphics, a separate expansion board with a higher-performance GPU provides more processing units and dedicated memory.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) correctly names a processor, but encryption is not the purpose described by integrated and expansion-board graphics hardware
- (c) and (d) use VGA as if it were a processor; VGA is a display standard or interface, not the computational processor installed on a graphics board
Key rule: GPU means graphics processing unit. VGA describes a video standard/interface, while a GPU performs the graphics calculations.
