Nope. Anything inheriantly serial is better off on the CPU due to caching and it's architecture.

Many things that are highly parallizable are getting GPU enabled. Games and ML are GPU by default, but many things are migrating to CUDA.

You need both for cheap, high performance computing. They are different workloads.

The graphics in games are GPU by default. But the game logic itself is seldom run on the CPU as far as I can tell.

Yes, I was too hasty in my response. I should have been more specific that I mean ML/AI type tasks. I see no way that we end up on general purpose CPUs for this.
