Standard CPUs are inefficient for AI workloads. Specialized chips like GPUs (NVIDIA H100) , TPUs (Google) , and NPUs are optimized for matrix multiplication. Standard CPUs are inefficient for AI workloads

A "semiconductor" is not one single thing. It is a family of components. Understanding these is key to mastering the guide.
