Hello, I'm trying to understand what has slowed down the progress of CPUs. Is it a strategic/political choice, or a real technical limitation?

GPU isn't limited by die size and system architecture like CPU. GPU chiplets do simple calculations too, so it's almost as simple as putting more on a board, which can be as large as the manufacturer desires.

Read about the differences from this Nvidia blog and you'll see that they're wildly different. It'll make sense why they're in different charts in the source you provided originally.
