I don't understand why some programmers say that the gpus are faster than cpus and viceversa.
Why don't use both?
Some render engines are great and optimized for cpus but in certain situations sometime is better to use the gpus.
I don't think that the cpus are slower than the gpus.
Corona is an example and if it used the gpus with its code could create the best rendering engine on the planet.
Its magic is in the code no matter what's the processor.

GPU is lamborghini, CPU is tractor. What is faster?

PS: rendering is plowed field.

Reminds me of my grandpa's porsche tractor. I never knew it was a porsche untill it suddenly occured to me, I loved that thing :)



Great comparison from Keymaster by the way!

although I never understood why not using all hardware in a machine, why this OR that. I would even put the usb controller at work if that could be, and the burner :D
