separate processor with hundreds of cores

Well, graphics rendering is very suited for parallelism. That's why GPUs were invented.

Most other tasks are not. Most of the cores in a 128-core JPU would end up being unused. Also why JPU? It's not like it's significantly different from a normal CPU task.
