I bet you could still split the gpu portion out into its own separate thing if you wished. discuss order hn newest Zenst|5 years ago Somehow this all reminded me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture)It's the whole - full core on a GPU aspect, which probably isn't a bad idea for a few reasons, could even offload much of the driver onto it and with that, make platform drivers much more manageable...maybe. sitkack|5 years ago From a high enough level they are architecturally similar. But these x86 cores don't scale _down_ to 500-1000 logic elements per core.This is an architectural level, not a microarchitectual level design (yet).
