yep thats why I said "video processing unit"
but think about it, look at how we need a completely spearate power plug in for our video card today. Imagine what we may have to do for more power in the future *points at the $17,000 video processing device*. Imagine having a completely separate box for your video motherboard, which you can upgrade your gpu, add more ram, having a separate power suppyl for that video device*
I bet though that the video card will stay in the computer in the future. There will be advancements that will enable the energy consumption to level off and keep the processing power to go up.
What if the highly theoretical Halo 3 for the pc had the ability to do multi-threading, addressing a separate dedicated physics processor, and utalizing multi-core sli/crossfire video cards? Imagine what you could be able to do with that engine...
