Most of the mining algorithms are designed to benefit from GPU architecture versus CPU architecture.
To equate it to something relatable think of the CPU architecture as the manager and the GPU as the factory workers. The CPU can "technically" do the same work as the GPU, but definitely not as efficiently.
In CPUs, each core has a thread allocation of 2 tops (one physical and one virtual if things like Hyperthreading are enabled). But generally speaking, all of the cores are designed to do a multitude of generic tasks.
In GPUs, each "core" is a smaller piece of potentially thousands of programmable cores all working in tandem to do smaller, but more purpose-built tasks that all add up to one larger task.
Mining basically leverages this in the same way worker ants operate.
edit: I forgot to mention this PC should come with 16gb of ram and a bigger SSD to be a solid deal at this price given the 10th gen CPU imo. It's not terrible i just think HP is still over pricing the 3060 in this build.
They're about to stabilize back to pre-pandemic levels.
Nvidia announced new cards for this year, so the 3000 series will take the place of the 1600 series soon.

That part I don't get since just high-end CPUs will suffice, and they didn't have a shortage. Is there something I'm not aware of that a GPU can do, to mine, that a comparative CPU can't. Honest question.

I won't clutter the deal thread anymore. Thanks.
