GPUs have used a VLIW design, but are moving to RISC as a result 
of the GPGPU trend. So, becoming more like simple CPUs. But what 
you get and what you get to access will vary based on API and 
hardware. (AI and raytracing will likely cause more changes in 
the future too.)

So you need a CPU software renderer to fall back on, GPU 
rendering is more of an optimization in addition to CPU 
rendering. But more and more is moving to the GPU.

Look at the roadmap for Skia to get an idea.
