Mythbusters instantly paint the Mona Lisa. . .

Ok, so I like watching the Mythbusters and will commonly find myself watching reruns just because they do cool stuff. I was perusing the web and found a video where they demonstrate the difference between a CPU(Central Processing Unit) and a GPU(Graphics Processing Unit).



Now the reality is that with a CPU you just have one processor sending data to the screen, while with a GPU you would still have the CPU running the other application instructions with the GPU setup to just run the graphical side of the program. Cool video no matter what they were demonstrating.
