They are, but in the GPU. GPUs handle the tasks that can be easily parallelized better than CPUs. Many supercomputers are now made from GPUs. I have a theory that we will gradually favour business and societal forms that can be easily parallelized, i.e. on GPU. BTW intel's growth focus is on ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) - effectively, code pushed down to silicon. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11287511 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11287511 And will integrate them in future Xeons http://www.pcworld.com/article/2921832/intel-looking-to-boost-horsepower-on-server-chips-with-asic-integration.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/2921832/intel-looking-to-boos...
