Parent poster seems to be from Intel. They argued very similar about specialized CPUs back then. "You only need one chip" Then came 3dfx, which was a blast. You can even call the Amiga Blitter as one of the first GPUs, at least a specialized graphics chip. Same goes for coprocessors, like a math unit in a 486DX for example.
