The Verdict
These tools serve different purposes. Microprocessors is a concept while GPU is a hardware. We picked Microprocessors based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.
Based on overall popularity. Microprocessors is more widely used, but GPU excels in its own space.
