Chief technology officer of Advanced Micro Devices said in an interview that it is looking forward to create a chip with integrated graphics core in 2008, once proven 45nm process technology is there.
“Integration of the CPU and the GPU. Assuming the transaction closes on time, we would target a merged design in the 45nm time frame,” said Phil Hester of AMD in an interview with Cnet News.com.

Mr. Hester explained that the trends in the development of graphics processors increased programmability: “We’ve crossed the point where the GPU can do real programs of a significant size,” he said. He then re-iterated the point made earlier by another AMD representative in an interview with AMD and said that the first CPU-GPU will come around 2008.
“It may seem like 2008 is a long way away, but that’s actually a major design cycle,” Mr. Hester said.

Se a intel seguir com os seus planos de tambem fabricar um CPU-GPU o que é que isto significará para a Nvidia? Será que os GPUs dos CPU-GPU serão os equivalentes aos integrados de hoje em dia? (em termos de performance) ou isto é o fim das placas stand-alone?
