The Mythbusters created this 1100 barrel gun to explain the difference between a CPU and a GPU. When a CPU is used to render graphics it is done one step at a time where as when a GPU is used it can handle many tasks at a time. Although it’s a completely over the top way of showing a point you have to love watching all 1100 barrels shooting out a picture at the same time.
