Graph workloads can work well on normal chips but you really have to know what you are doing. Clever algorithms that demonstrated graphs workloads could be efficiently run on CPUs was a major contributor to the demise of barrel processing research, since a lot of the interest in those architectures was for the purposes of efficient graph analysis. Given the option, economics heavily favors commodity silicon.
