An Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) is a type of microprocessor that integrates a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) onto a single die. This integration allows for faster data transfer between the CPU and GPU, improved energy efficiency, and a smaller overall footprint compared to discrete CPU and GPU setups. APUs are commonly used in laptops, desktops, and game consoles to handle general-purpose computing tasks and graphics-intensive applications such as gaming and video processing. Some APUs also include other processing units like image processors or audio processors, further enhancing their capabilities.
