Paralell processing is the key ,therefore programmers must be the first to embrace this and I believe that they will.Paralellism is not a small niche of the market anymore it is growing everyday and lack of eficent software is the only holdback.

Imagine faster processing ,lower power consumption ,fewer parts ,lower production cost.
ATI was bought for its IP portfolio and to make chipsets ,not to kill the ATI brand.
