It's interesting, but it has me wondering when the vendors are going to realize the inefficiency of having two powerful but dissimilar processors on the machine, and fold GPU functions back into the CPU. IBM's Cell architecture may well be an example of this already.

This has been going on for decades... see Sutherland's wheel of reincarnation.
