18 December 2005 UTC Well that s still the crux of our disagreement I do not take microprocessor to be such a broad definition because it s very uncommon in my experience to see any researcher engineer or designer refer to anything that doesn t contain a CPU as a microprocessor Indeed so far it seems that the people that generally refer to GPUs as microprocessors are either lay men or something else far removed from a computer engineer Ehh I ll do a quick survey of some of the newsgroups and technical forums I frequent I ll also try to see if I can find the first usage of the term anywhere 15 36
