This is what happening now with NPUs and other co-processors. Just not fully OS managed / directed yet but Microsoft is most likely working on that part at least.

The key part is that now there are far more use cases than there were in the early dozer days and that the current main CPU design does not compromise on vector performance like the original AMD design did (outside of extreme cases of very wide vector instructions).

And they are also targeting new use cases such as edge compute AI rather than trying to push the industry to move traditional applications towards GPU compute with HSA.
