What is GPU
GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. It's a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device. GPUs are commonly used in gaming, video editing, graphic design, and other visually intensive tasks. They excel at parallel processing, making them highly efficient for handling large amounts of data simultaneously. In addition to graphics rendering, GPUs are increasingly being used in fields such as artificial intelligence, scientific simulations, and cryptocurrency mining due to their ability to perform complex calculations at high speeds.

External GPU:
An external GPU (eGPU) is like giving your computer a boost in graphics power from the outside. Typically, a computer has its own built-in graphics processing unit (GPU), but sometimes it might not be powerful enough for certain tasks like gaming or video editing. So, you can plug in an external GPU to give your computer some extra muscle for those tasks.
An eGPU usually comes in an enclosure that houses a high-performance graphics card, which connects to your computer via a high-speed interface like Thunderbolt. This allows your computer to tap into the extra graphics power provided by the external GPU whenever it's needed, giving you better performance for demanding tasks without having to upgrade your entire computer. It's like adding a turbocharger to your car when you need that extra boost
