Prior to the existence of the CPU/GPU architecture, microprocessors had blitters – logic blocks that rapidly modified data within the memory, capable of copying large swathes of data in parallel ...

Because this learning process is autonomous and data driven, it can be implemented on most any computer processor architecture -- even those that have yet to be invented.

The reason why a 40 year old microprocessor is still covered in computer architecture text books instead of computer history is a bit convoluted.
