There's no reason you can't have general-purpose SoCs that combine traditional pipeline-driven CPU cores, GPGPU cores and FPGA cores with memory, bus chips, storage, etc. We long ago reached the point of diminishing returns for cramming more raw computing power on a chip; so chips of the future will likely consolidate specialized features for various workloads in the name of power savings / speed increases for certain workloads.
