@dingumfCallofDuty GPUs are suitable for parallel tasks because of the multicore design they use (for example the GTX580 have 512 CUDA Cores and the Radeon HD 5970 have 3200 cores) but CPU are deployed for serial tasks, doing 3D is hard because of the lack of vector instruction which will be fixed with the upcoming Intel Haswell architecture , this CPU will maybe able to compete with the IBM's Cell broadband engine which holds 1 scalar CPU and 8 Vector CPU, but what.......
@dingumfCallofDuty ...i'm actually waiting for is the maxwell architecture by NVIDIA which will be a SOC (system on a chip) consisted of 8 ARM core CPU plus maybe a 2048 Shader clocked at 2GHZ
Give it to developers Minecraft them to do the game without lag.

Bah this makes me wanna puke, why not just C++ and OpenCL?

GPU = graphics processor unit, CPU = computer processor unit
gpu is for games and videos, cpu is for applications and calculations
first computers didn't have gpu because there were not advanced enough for graphics and stuff

If gpus are so faster than cpus, why do we even need cpus?
