CUDA clobbered x86, not ARM. Maybe if x86’s vector ops were better and more usable ARM would have been motivated to do better.

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.
