Sort of how diamonds are appraised, isn’t it?
What else can a power supply be used for?
Is that alligator?
PHI chips and parallel stacks of CPU chips perform pixel-by-pixel logic, as it were, in place of logic-less every-pixel-at-once infill as with GPU’s, and in use cases where this need shines, CPU-as-GPU shines.
At first GPU’s were legs ahead, but then and now and again you can stack CPU’s affordably to where every pixel comes with logic and happens to be HD enough to reach saturation.
So while 1 GHz might be slow, for niche applications it’s better to stack PHI’s. Still better is to stack fast thread Xeon or like. Still better yet is an hybrid - Fast thread, slow thread, and GPU-thread.
It just so happens we have a use case which is leaps and bounds ahead of the traditional from the start, the full of the potential being unknown:
See where it’s going? See where it already went? Consumer boards are in the stone age, some respects. By design?

Look at the bottom right of this catalog page. Those are cores, mind, not threads. My goodness…
Don’t even get me started regarding those silly pi stacks. Look here, don’t look over there… What is the red herring in this context?
