I'm surprised we're not seeing the same thing for graphics cores. You'd think a modern desktop could be handled by a lot less horsepower than the latest Unreal based game. Maybe that's because the much higher parallelism make it easier to use a low percentage of graphics cores?

There's a rudimentary version of these on laptops: the integrated graphics and discrete graphics are co-opted to make a hybrid GPU, but it has a lot of gotchas (especially when it's not AMD-AMD (which is super rare and will still be if their new laptop designs still flopped the market)). I think that it will matter in the future for two reasons: 1) Intel being competent in graphics and 2) East Asian and European power consumption regulations (which is sometimes commented as draconian, and the reason that Intel even bothered making ATX12VO).
