    Yes, AMD is working on a chip that will combine the cpu and the gpu (graphics). The gpu wil not only be used for the monitor, but also for certain kinds of calculations. Just like in the old days when we had a 386 cpu and a 387 numeric coprocessor. However I don't think we will see these new chips this year.
