The current GPUs aren't really that generally applicable though, as they are most useful when you need to do a bunch of number crunching on a lot of data of the same structure—which is why we still run compilers on CPUs.

If you are offended by the term GPGPU, maybe we could use the name Compute Processing Unit :-).
