==Trends== Over time CPUs have tended to grow to absorb the functionality of the most popular coprocessors. FPUs are now considered an integral part of a processors' main pipeline; [[Single instruction, multiple data|SIMD]] units gave multimedia its acceleration, taking over the role of various [[Digital signal processor|DSP]] accelerator cards; and even [[Graphics processing unit|GPUs]] have become integrated on CPU dies. Nonetheless, specialized units remain popular away from desktop machines, and for additional power, and allow continued evolution independently of the main processor product lines.
