If they make a 20nm gpu with 8 billion transistors and 8GB of 1 TB/s RAM, they better add 4 x86 cores to it. Then all they need to do is add a few usb ports and a couple sata ports and the video card becomes a complete system.
Why do you think that NVidia is putting ARM cores into Maxwell?
And yes, as Erenhardt said, the consoles are basically what you just described. I'd like to see Intel's take on it; a massive GT4 GPU, with eDRAM cache, and a pair of Broadwell cores driving it. It'd make one hell of a gaming HTPC chip.
