| Chark said: With APU set ups the GPU is going to become even more important since it will open the GPU up for processes original done for CPU work. It might be young for APUs still and they look weak by current computer understanding of how separate CPUs and GPUs work, but the design is going to be quite the advancement in processing. I don't see why not our high end CPUs will become incorporated into APU designs in the future. |
Not true.
Yes, at first thought it sounds like the obvious and logical conclusion to come to but the point is this is simply not going to be true for at least 10 years - if ever because of the heat output/transistor count for anything to rival a discrete card.
Also, the logical conclusion (at first thought) that having it integrated on chip means a faster BUS speed is also invalid because as you can see and as has been known for years current top end cards hardly even satisfy the PCI-E 8x connection let alone the 16x.
