> Hardware accelerated graphics (their blitter was cool) is also the norm (and many orders of magnitude faster now). Not really. Current GPUs don't have 2D hardware, everything is just done in "software". > I'd imagine, for starters, a uniform CPU/GPU architecture. Lots of cores accessing a single memory pool (let them have some scratch memory for themselves to save bandwidth) running the same software doing the job of both CPU and GPU. Make this CPU/GPU hybrid monster capable of combining multiple 4K inputs piped into textures and composite them in real time on any display surface available. Sounds rather like Larrabee [1].
