Will you buy an AIB that allows you to recycle your older CPUs and RAMs? It may not do much but completely free your main CPU off those processes that you can't kill but are doing nothing meaningfull 99% of the time.
No, I like buying new stuff.

Umm... PCI Express?
PCI express is a name of a connector, like PCI, AGB, parallel port, and PS2 connector. Itself is not a hardware solution, although it can be use to describe part of the hardware setup. Name me another please?

The PCI-Express bus is a non-proprietary hardware solution that can be used to install a GPU into a PC. It works very well. Much better than your proposed hardware solution, a proprietary GPU socket, as has already been explained.

no, if AIB start doing that it will halt GPU development, we will be stuck to one GPU manufacture, AMD. because no way intel allow AMD messing with their chipset, and not only we have to chose cpu socket we will also be forced to chose the gpu socket as well and it will be come deadly and confusing combination

A gpu is a mini pc system on its own.

Its got its own processor, its own ram, caches, heatsink, cooler, bios and its own little mobo or pcb. So it does reflect a cpu only on a smaller scale
