the frontier edition is actually meant for deep learning / neural network stuff which can be accelerated by a gpu, as well as creative workloads and some game development

because it's for specialized applications which require massive amounts of raw parallel computing power
GPUs are perfect for this because they have thousands of cores in a single unit
It's not even remotely meant for gaming or consumer-level *anything* really
