Yes, that's true. But it's also possible to use a GPU to do some CPU work and I've seen programmers make SQL code actually do math, but both are very difficult and not very effective just like using an SPE for general purpose CPU code isn't very effective. SPEs are designed to do transforms, etc. on data.
