There are some step generation hardware that is good to several MHz. I use a uc300eth that can do couple hundred kHz step pulse. A super fast PC cannot do that without using some kind of external hardware or pci card.
Sort of see where your coming from, but this chip isn't processing data, it is timing data, unless "processing" is being used in a generic sense as a given amount of throughput.
I know a lot of the people who understand audio far better than me talk a lot about timing, so I could see how an external chip to perform timing could be beneficial for this purpose.
If my post is missing an 'nt you might have to add it yourself.
