Cpu's becoming gpu's?

It's true, some companies are coming out with gpu powered motherboards that's said to be 50% faster than a standard quad core. If you don't know what that is, cpu is called a cenral proccesing unit, and gpu is called graphics proccesing unit. Gpu's are said to have more running thread's and procces's which at the same time uses less electricity and creat low heat. For instance, Ati has come out with the first mini motherboard which is smaller than the intel atom, along with Nvidia. You Tube has video's of this new brain that's suppost to be hitting the shelf's in December 2009. I don't know the link but if you type in (computing on a gpu) it will show how new parallel processing happens.

Comment by yourfindit on April 20, 2009 at 11:13am: Ah, count me in if processing speed is involved.

Comment by Jake on April 20, 2009 at 4:00am: I would love it like a removable CPU

Comment by Sak Sun on April 18, 2009 at 4:12am: umm about the AMD ATi/Nvidia thingy there... I'm looking at the stickers on my laptop right now, and the processer is AMD, and the graphics are nVIDIA.... :s

Comment by Philip Tyson on April 18, 2009 at 4:00am: Nvidia already has a supercomputer that uses multiple GPU's. It is called the Tesla.
Here is the link for it:
