    I wonder how that will work. Graphics processors and central processors are very different. If I remember correctly a graphics processor can do many actions at the same time, while a central processor can do only do one per core at a time.

    In rendering graphics is amazing since their can be hundreds of stream processors, which take up bits of the file and render them simultaneously. It is the basis behind CUDA and AVIVO.
    I have a feeling this processor from nVidia if it is made will be either amazing or terrible

    nVidia has been making graphics processors for years. Well they learned from the guys at 3DFX
    nVidia has never made a central processor, so this will be a new thing for them

    Hmm nvidia x86 processor...when exactly do they plan on asking Intel for an x86 license to make said processors :confused: . It would make sense to get the license first and then do the work on creating the processor instead of doing the hard work for the next 2 or so years and then Intel says "well done but it is not in our best interest to grant you a x86 license" what then?
