CPU - Games

In gaming, the CPU represents the unseen orchestrator of virtual worlds. It processes AI behaviors, physics calculations, and game logic, determining the intelligence of NPCs and the responsiveness of environments. Beyond hardware, 'CPU' symbolizes systemic complexity in game design—the hidden rules governing emergent gameplay. In narrative games, it can metaphorically represent control, consciousness, or the 'brain' of a digital universe. Its optimization directly impacts frame rates and simulation depth, making it both a technical cornerstone and a conceptual touchstone for immersive, dynamic experiences.
