I wish GPUs had evolved to be, essentially, CPUs with some specialized graphics-related instructions instead of the fixed-and-parallel soup that modern GPUs are (and i see Nvidia's RTX cores as a regression on that front, GPUs should become more generic, not more specialized). I am sad that Intel's management screwed Larrabee. The only hope i have for the future is that CPUs will evolve to manycore designs that can realistically support software rendering on hundreds of threads. But we're still far from this.
