Not exclusively, no. But there are developments, still mostly in the
research stage, for software allowing heterogeneous computing
platforms of CPUs and GPUs to offload more work onto the GPUs; and
there are some experimental architectures, like Intel Larrabee, that
are CPU/GPU hybrids.
See, for example:
