Whole concept sounds like groping in the dark for a Take to me: GPUs (CUDA) are orthogonal to consumer processors (ARM / X86). Maybe we could assume a platonic ideal merged chip, a CPU that acts like a GPU, but there's more differences between those two things than an instruction set for vector ops.
