hah i dont understand why this was (even temporarily) downvoted. You do realize that the CPU & GPU industries are at war with each other, right? I read the article now, cool technical overview -- but basically all of these processor arch articles have a slant in all the paragraphs where they wax poetic (abstract, analysis/conclusion). I think it would be helpful for people to be aware of this... AFAIK Nvidia (their company name is at the top of this paper btw in case u weren't paying attention) are trying to generalize their chips to the point where they can enter the CPU market, and Intel chips can render 3D graphics well enough to handle most games that are ~5 years old (since Haswell or maybe one or 2 gens before). So this isn't a particularly slanted article but there is a fair amount of propaganda / contrived performance studies in this market... NVIDIA & Intel are vying for each other's core customer bases. Anyone interested in the field should dig up the articles that try to debunk perfomance myths as well as studying architecture overview. (Some of the sentences in the last few paragraphs, for example, made me sorta queasy & would get shredded on Wikipedia.)
