It's also available paired on the same die as x86 cores, inserted into a m/board that doesn't support integrated graphics. In that case it can still be used for computation and, with an application suited to the design, is faster than using the x86 cores.

Radeon is presently built around a publicly documented ISA: GCN. It is Turing complete and supports running programs of arbitrary length. It supports multitasking and memory mapping.
In short, it is every bit as valid a CPU as the humble 6502 is. It's just vastly more capable.

Given the same level of investment and focus on performance, the PowerPC architecture could certainly have reached today's AMD64 performance levels. It has certain definite architectural advantages over x86, having been designed from the outset for high performance and design scalability.

Was there any other kinds CPU today can have better horsepower then x86? Power9? check the AMD's new 64-core EPYC.

Well, it would be silly and wasteful to install a petrol engine for each of those tasks, wouldn't it?
They don’t run the car, like those ARM won’t process your mouse click and open your exe installed,
You might say the RISC based system exists, like most smartphone , some tablet , and television ...

I heard it quoted some years ago that there are more ARM CPUs in existence than any other; there are in fact probably more ARM cores in your PC than x86-family cores. Second place goes to PowerPC.

Why 8086 can grow in to x86, But 6502 can"t?
now x86 is most used cpu type in home PC, Workstation, Server, and etc,
if 6502 and CPU based on it, was more popular choice in 80's . Why can't 6502 grow?
