"We are confident that our license, as negotiated, applies. At the heart of this issue is that the CPU has run its course and the soul of the PC is shifting quickly to the GPU. This is clearly an attempt to stifle innovation to protect a decaying CPU business."
Yeah, let's see a computer run without a CPU...or computer architecture switch back to one-module computing (Before mainstream video cards), IE, a GPU doing all the processing, including video.

As I interpret it he's not an idiot at all.
He's not saying that the CPU is now useless, he's saying that if you want to get the most bang for your buck it's more important to have a cutting edge GPU than a cutting edge CPU. And that is true. The CPU is no longer the major bottleneck for a gaming computer, the GPU is. ______________________________________________ -My respect can not be won, only lost.

Key word here is gaming.
For almost every other purpose, it remains the CPU.

Graphics will reach their limits soon enough. Then there will be no more significant improvement possible without unreasonable development time invested in it. The immersive gaming experience will require new stuff when the uncanny valley is reached.
Which would be things like physics and AI. How the game looks is one thing, how it behaves another. For that physics and AI processors might make a rise. And if not, those functions will get their own part of the CPU. -------- Ideas for: Mining

...Yeaaah He worded his statement a little wrongly.
He likely means that when it comes to gaming - the most important component is shifting to the GPU, not the CPU.
However, any PC gamer worth their weight knows that you just buy the best you can at any given time - lest you be stricken with the legendary "Bottlenecking".

Ugh. If I did that I would have spent three times as much for my current stuff for only a marginal increase in computing power. ______________________________________________ -My respect can not be won, only lost. It's given freely and only grudgingly withdrawn. |

Odd then that I have the same GPU setup here as I did before I popped a Phenom II in here but yet I can now get much better framerates than with the old Athlon X2 5000+...
CPU can be a bottleneck in some situations (though it could have been the older HT bus I guess?).
The GPU setup is a pair of 8800GT's in SLI. ===================================== It smells of spoon! ===================================== |

The guy is actually a pure genius,
But in reality, He is not talking about gaming, what he is talking about is rendering for movies, and the likes, or seismic events, or particle dissolutions and their effects, just so happens that their cards are also good for gaming :D.

This is why I'm glad I use ATI. >>Insert generic signature here<< |

OS?
My XP machine runs 2x faster than my Vista based PC. The XP only has a single core 3100+ and a 7800GT in it though. My Vista box runs a 3600+Dual core and a 9800GT. Go figure. I'm dumping Vista ASAP.

except on gpus I can run individual AI for npcs all at the same time on the graphics card. where on the cpu I would have to either thread it, or make all the choices separately and update the game that way. the question is will the end user have a gpu that can handle that?

a lot of that also has to do with how the game is written. so many different system configs out there that you can't program to always take advantage of dual cores, or sli cards.
I for one welcome the new gpu overloads!
