What’s the difference between a standard CPU and GPU? Well, you have to understand the difference between sequential and parallel processing. Maybe the best way to explain is with a visual aid. How about a paintball-gun-wielding robot?

This Video of the Day comes from NVIDIA. The MythBusters, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, step in to help. They bring two of the coolest paintball-firing robots ever made.

They use those robots to paint something very familiar. In the process they explain the difference between a CPU and GPU. It’s fun and informative.
