An accelerated processing unit is a type of microprocessor that combines a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) onto a single die. This integration allows for shared memory and closer communication between the CPU and GPU, improving performance for tasks that benefit from both general-purpose and parallel processing. AMD is a primary developer of APUs.
