It wouldn't be unheard of.
Qualcomm before they made all the chips they do today, ran a pretty popular and successful email client called Eudora.
Doing one thing well can lead to doing bigger things well.
More realistically, if the top end chips go towards the most demanding work, there might be more than enough lower grade silicon that can easily keep the gaming world going.
Plus, gamers rarely stop thinking in terms of gaming, and those insights helped develop GPUs into what they are today, and may have some more light to shine in the future. Where we see gaming and AI coming together, whether it's in completely and actually immersive worlds, etc, is pretty interesting.
Update: Adding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudora_(email_client)
Mac Eudora was the best email client ever. If it had got UTF8 support I'd probably still be running it in an emulator.
I just learned today that there has been some efforts underway: https://hermes.cx/
I had completely forgotten about the existence of Eudora. Thanks friend, that lead me down a mental rabbit hole.
Glad you enjoyed. Steve Wozniaks review of audits was fun to read.
