A difference is that a GPU uses a lot of power and takes up a lot of space. I can imagine an optimized, energy-efficient chip would be useful in embedded systems. Something like a Raspberry Pi for image processing maybe?

Like Tegra K1? GPUs are more energy efficient than normal CPUs for some tasks, so getting lower absolute power consumption is just a matter of using fewer cores.

I think you're thinking of a Graphics Card, a GPU is comparable in physical dimensions to a CPU.
