Exciting times ahead ;-) Also, there is a difference in required memory architecture when it comes to optimizing CPU thread performance vs SIMD - CPU is more sensitive to latency, SIMD to bandwidth. You usually have to pick the memory type (e.g. DDR3 vs GDDR5) that optimizes one of those and that would tell you what market you target. I am not sure how AMD handles their HSA - they seem to have discontinued plans for GDDR5 so their Fusion GPU is going to be bandwidth-starved.
