Got to wonder. See, the current system, and Intel's newest design, which 
is more of the same, is:

CPU = Core (IPU + FPU), multiple cores.
GPU = separate component.

AMD is looking at making it:

CPU = IPU (Integer processor, which does the stuff that most processors, 
prior to adding in-built FPUs did. I.e., execute code, but *not* do any 
math.). Multiple IPUs. FPU - <none>. GPU - Integrated into CPU, and 
replacing all functions of the FPU in the process.

They figure that this, even without changing die sizes, will garner an 
80% increase in speed, since all FPU functions get dumped, not to a 
separate FPU for each core, but to how ever many of the 128+ "pipes" in 
the GPU. Since Cuda is supposed to be a way to "program" a GPU... What 
happens if you don't need to do that any more, but can just drop your 
"code" into an IPU, and have it use the GPU pipes to do its math? Seems 
to me it makes "programming" the GPU at all kind of redundant. :p

       call slow_by_half();

     }
     call functional_code();
   }
   else
     call crash_windows();
}
