For instance, modern computer processors now have special circuits for things like graphics operations, decoding compressed video, and encrypting files - all of which are operations that would take many many many clock cycles to perform with standard operations.
例如,现代计算机处理器现在有专门的电路来处理图形操作、解码压缩视频和加密文件等操作——所有这些操作都需要很多很多时钟周期来执行标准操作。
