# Graphics or not graphics?
-GPU hardware evolved from very specialized pipelines for 2D (and later 3D) rendering to more generic interfaces.
+GPU hardware evolved from very specialized pipelines for 2D (and later 3D) rendering to more generic processing units.
In the last few years GPU manufacturers started to sell ``unified shaders'' that allow even more generic computing pipelines.
Hardware accelerated AI computation and more specialized graphics processing pipelines¹ justify dropping native graphics processing support, at least in an initial implementation of a GPU filesystem for Plan 9.
