They cannot run graphics
The change of the meaning of the G in GPU from "graphics" to "general" is even less well documented and used than the "V" of DVD changing from "video" to "versatile".
Indeed it only occurred to me what it must have changed to and to go looking to confirm after seeing your comment.
And frankly they ought to have changed the name to something like "MPPU" if they wanted it to stick (massively parallel).
