Reply to comment by Thrawn89 in ELI5: Why do computers need GPUs (integrated or external)? What information is the CPU sending to the GPU that it can't just send to a display? by WeirdGamerAidan
Depends how you look at it. Their circuitry can handle vector math more efficiently

No, most GPUs haven't had vector instructions for maybe a decade. Modern GPUs use SIMD waves for parallelization with scalar instructions.
