x86 is the CPU architecture. Not the GPU. The GPU driver stack is completely independant from the CPU. It could as well be a POWER CPU and it would be as easy to upgrade.

I obviously have no clue about this, but I figured PC are x86 and upgrading them works fine with games, and these consoles are x86 so it might work well with them as well :-3

Using a socket for a few CPU's isn't something Intel created. Nearly all embedded CPU's re-use sockets for a while. It's just as easy to upgrade an ARM, MIPS and POWER machine as it is x86.
