Why are gpu's so much bigger than CPU's

[Gautama2]

How come the card for a gpu is like 10x larger than the cpu?

Or is the mobo basically the "card" for the cpu?

 

[Powermoloch]

it's just like a mobo...like you said earlier..with all the chips and stuff.......

PCB doesnt matter.

Its die size that counts, and die size is about the same for CPU and GPU.

 

[Smartazz]

Never mind.

a video card is not a gpu. the die is the gpu. the card you see is, like you said, the "mobo" for the gpu.
