Interesting, if the CPU/GPU end up becoming 'one', how thing would Xserver operate with it? could it support it without the need of proprietary drivers? in terms of mesa, could mesa get added support for those functions? Are they looking at using it solely in desktops/workstations or do they see it scaling down into laptops?
