RE[3]: SoC ? ���Ã

"Yeah. But this processor is on the same chip as the DRAM. So it has very wide bus that connects it to the DRAM
sounds like the gpu from 10 years ago that never materialised "
Yeah whatever happened to those GPU's with 12MB of eDRAM? I read Intel wants to do something similar to get their GPU up to speed.

Yeah. But this processor is on the same chip as the DRAM. So it has very wide bus that connects it to the DRAM (4096 bits). However, I guess it's still subject to the same latencies.
It's a bit like the Cell's SPEs and I guess it will be as hard to program for.
