Single Chip GPU+CPU?

Name: Anonymous 2013-02-18 2:28

So why there are no tighter integration between CPU and GPU? Like for example making GPU capabilities a part of x86 architecture?

IIRC, long ago FPU was a separate unit too.

it's getting closer.. amd's apus i think are already cpu + gpgpu ... don't know how far behind intel is, but probably not very ^^

you'd think there'd be plenty enough room in the new 64-bit instruction sets for both cpu and gpu instructions.. maybe just that stream processors don't quite work as fully fledged general purpose cpus yet..
