Was the PA-7150 CPU in the Hombre chipset supposed to run user programs or was it supposed to be dedicated for the graphics like the GPU in current graphic cards?


Both, actually.

In low cost systems like a console or an entry level system it would be the main processor, but in higher spec systems it would be used as a co-processor.
