The evolution of computing power of CPU and GPU
Although ten years ago, Intel predicted 10 GHz processors by 2011 , the reality was completely different. Who could have imagined that the main computing power will no longer be on the CPU, but on the graphics processors. This is how the graph of growth in the number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) in CPU and GPU over the past ten years looks like.
The same graph on a logarithmic scale.

It is clear that due to the narrow specialization, the graphics processor can devote almost all its performance to arithmetic operations, while the CPU architecture is much more complicated.
The clock speed of Intel processors has frozen around 3.4 GHz.
True, the overall performance of chips continues to grow due to an increase in the number of cores.
