This feels a lot like using a supercar for a daily commute in gridlock traffic. Wastes energy, impractical, but also pretty cool

A technology demonstration doesn't need to be practical. That's for follow-up works. e.g. We could have a mostly GPU workload, and now instead of having to run CPU logic off-board, we may be able to run in on GPU as well.

At this point I’d be more surprised to learn about a device that DOOM had been definitely proven not to run on.

I think you'd have a hard time on any console before the SNES. No matter what you do an Atari VCS is not running Doom.

Yeah I remember that video of the guy ‘running DOOM on the NES’ - who was really just using the cartridge as a bus to stream it from a raspberry pi.
