I wonder whether the upcoming APUs will feature 3D cache. Assuming it server pretty well in a gaming scenario (and more so when the CPU and GPU is sharing the same memory bandwith) it should be a pretty clear win. And since these chips are meant to be drawing less power than the general purpose ones, I guess having another layer of 3D v-cache would not constitute as big of a problem as it does on the desktop platform.
