Couldn't we just re-purpose the G in GPU to stand for "general" rather than "graphics"?

  I think VPU (for vector) is the most descriptive.

    GPUs are not really vector processing units though.

      Most graphics IS vector based math run through matrices. Same with physics. Every vertex is essentially a vector from the mathematical perspective. But you're right, that doesn't quite capture the massively parallel simple core arch that we see today.

    There should exists such devices and be open from day 1.
