M1, M2 & M3 have been very succesful, partly because they include similar functions. There is an advantage in using the CPU because it can share main memory. NVIDIA are using VRAM as market segmentation. 24Gb VRAM is the most you'll find on desktop GPUs.
Intel tried before with Larabee, which was the project of the current CEO and he sees it as a mis-step it was not followed through as it might have competed with NVIDIA in that space.
Your chip already has lots of specialist functions you don't use. BCD functions for example.
Your x87/MMX registers are there but are not used in x64 mode, along with including saving/restoring of segment registers on the stack, saving/restoring of all registers (PUSHA/POPA), decimal arithmetic, BOUND and INTO instructions, and "far" jumps and calls with immediate operands.
Do you run in 32bit protected mode much? How about 16-bit protected mode ?

Do you do a lot of AES encryption? Your CPU has dedicated instructions for it.
