When we first reported about AMD's upcoming Bulldozer CPU architecture, we pointed out that in its future CPUs will come across a lot of work on its graphics chips. AMD has effectively increased multi-threading performance of its new processor architecture by merely increasing the capacity of the unit. Despite two very Alsen units have left the processor's floating point unit alone and will instead come across a portion of floating point calculations on the graphics chip.

This is something Intel will build on the next few years and it has now confirmed that in 3-5 years will make most of the floating-point calculations at the computer's graphics chip.

This is undoubtedly an exciting development, which ultimately means that our computers can not only benefit greatly from a graphics chip, they will be quite vital. Which further indicates that in future we can expect more focus on hetrogena circuits where multiple components are collected in the same silicon.
