We could call the consumer ones GFX cards, and keep GPU for the matrix multiplying ones.

  GPU stands for "graphics processing unit" so I'm not sure how your suggestion solves it. Maybe renaming the device to an MPU, where the M stands for "matrix/math/mips" would make it more semantically correct?

    I think that G was changed to "general", so now it's "general processing unit".

      This doesn't seem to be true at all. It's a highly specialized chip for doing highly parallel operations. There's nothing general about it. I looked around briefly and could find no evidence that it's been renamed. Do you have a source?

      CPU is already the general (computing) processing unit so that wouldn't make sense
