No it's really a sub-component, smaller than either of those.  It's
responsible for binding together the GT core, the display, and the
memory interface.  It exposes some regs in the PCI BAR (rudely shoving
aside the display ones) for doing things like forcewake, turbo, and tlb
flushing, along with top level interrupt handling.
