ELI5: Why certain tasks like video rendering and bitcoin mining are better to run on a GPU instead of the more powerful CPU?

I heard it has to do with "sloppy math" or something...

The CPU has something like 4 or 8 really fast cores that are good at doing just about everything. A GPU has something like 2000 slower cores that are pretty good at doing certain types of math problems but not much else. If you're doing lots of that certain type of math problems, the 2000 cores in your GPU will solve way more problems than the 8 fast cores in your CPU.
