It depends on the application. If the application, as the article puts it, "pushes polygons around", then I imagine the APU concept may have the advantage. Though, as previously noted, this APU concept is highly dependent on tailored software (compilers, etc.) and AMD has been banking their strategy on the fact that these critical pieces will take advantage of the APU. I think the NCSU research (co-sponsored by AMD) is a move in the right direction for determining whether these APUs are an effective solution when compared to the multi-CPU architectures.
