The document outlines the differences between general purpose processors (GPPs) and domain specific processors (DSPs). GPPs are versatile and designed for a wide range of applications, while DSPs are optimized for specific tasks with higher efficiency and lower power consumption. Use cases for GPPs include personal computing and mobile devices, whereas DSPs are ideal for gaming, telecommunications, and automotive systems.
