oh, brother....   if you wanna get into THAT, there was the TI 99/4a,
which was a 16-bit box (with a severely crippled built-in BASIC that
would be lucky to qualify as shareware today!) that had a seperate CPU
for sprites (graphics), sound, and number-crunching....  if it's
Extended BASIC was the default (instead of an extra), then it might
actually have done better....  maybe even to the point of getting a
GUI some day...
