Afaik, gpu cores a very stripped down cpu cores that do basic math, but what sort of math can cpus do that gpus can't

I'm talking, cpu core vs Tensor/Cuda cores.

to truly understand the difference u need to get into the weeds of low level physical implementation of logic instruction sets. the "bloat" of a cpu mostly has to do with striving to speed up the processing of sequential, order-sensitive instructions. unlike gpu which can be massively parallel.
