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

The real difference between a GPU and a CPU is the access to the rest of the hardware. You could do logical operations on both, but a GPU can't address your hardware so it wouldn't be overall very useful as the only processing unit.
