gollark: All you need are some nanometre-precision scissors and a very steady hand.
gollark: It's hard to make things which are good at *both* of those, and you would deal with twice the heat in one place.
gollark: CPUs have to execute x86 (or ARM or other things, but generally a documented, known instruction set) very fast sequentially, GPUs can execute basically whatever they want as long as it can be generated from one of the standard ways to interface with them, and do it in a massively parallel way.
gollark: It's not very efficient to have one thing do both because being specialized means they can make specific optimizations.
gollark: But they're not as good because thermal constraints and no ability to swap the bits separately.
