Mining thread.

What are you using. How much did it cost, how many megahashes.

GPUs are more efficient because the task is just lots of complicated maths problems. While a GPU core is simpler than a cpu core and would take a longer time to solve the maths problem, GPUs can have thousands of these simple cores and rely on parallelism to tackle many computations all at once. GPUs have much higher throughput.

Research GPGPU (general purpose computing using GPUs), and Parallelism. There's lots of youtube videos. They're great at other things too, not just mining
