GPUs use billions of tiny 1-volt transistors to run code. Power electronics use just one highly engineered device to control grid power.
Drew Baglino (Founder & CEO of Heron Power, ex-Tesla SVP) explains how a single silicon carbide device, smaller than a GPU, can block 10,000 volts.
Old switches used a physical arm swinging through the air to stop high-voltage electricity. Power electronics do the same thing inside a solid material.
