The APU concept has a few interesting points but certainly also a few major problems (when comparing it to a cpu + stand alone gpu setup): * Memory bandwidth to all those FPUs * Power (CPUs in servers today max out around 120W with GPUs at >250W) Either way we're in for an interesting future (as usual) :-) /Peter
