- More graphics memory so you can hold all your textures
- A faster bus between the GPU and the host
- A unified GPU/CPU/memory architecture
I think that what AMD (and possibly Intel) are doing next. Putting a
few GPU cores along side with the CPU cores all in one chip. That's
probably the main reason for AMD buying ATI.
