GPUs are designed in such a way because graphics processing often require many repeated functions that can be performed in parallel. For example, say we are dealing with a mesh with thousands of triangles, each of them can be processed in parallel in order to generate what we see on our computer screens. Matrix operations often required in graphics rendering such as multiplication can often be processed in parallel as well and GPUs are designed to be excellent at that.
