I thought AMD was staking their entire future on the Clawhammer and future 64-bit CPUs that can have up to eight-CPUs all working together. If we had eight CPUs on one mobo, you could have an entire CPU's power for one/eighth a current CPU's functions. With all those CPU's, it seems entirely feasible that you could divide up the job of a GPU and a processor among these 64-bit CPUS. There's also cell processing, which i know little about, but i have heard it has kind of the same principle as the Mtrox Parhelia's GPU. What did they call that? a VPU? im not sure. But i think it was kindof like putting hundreds of simple GPUs on one chip and having them all grouped into different sections of pipeline.
