🔧 AI Hardware | AI硬件基础¶
🎯 Learning Objective | 学习目标：Understand the hardware required for running AI and learn to choose the right equipment | 了解运行AI所需的硬件知识，学会选择合适的设备
🌟 Why Learn About AI Hardware? | 为什么要了解AI硬件？¶
AI is like a supercar 🏎️: AI 就像一辆超级跑车 🏎️：
- GPU = Engine → Determines how fast it runs
-
GPU = 发动机 → 决定跑得多快
-
Memory = Fuel tank → Determines how far it can go
-
内存 = 油箱 → 决定能跑多远
-
CPU = Driver → Coordinates all components
- CPU = 驾驶员 → 协调所有部件
Without a good "engine", even the smartest AI can't run! 没有好的"发动机"，再聪明的AI也跑不起来！
