20. Intel uses QPI now, and AMD has used HyperTransport since '03.
FSB is DEAD.

The GPU that will be in the same package as a GPU will be an integrated part.



In the AMD world, the 790GX chipset on an AM2+ motherboard uses an integrated Radeon 3300 GPU on the northbridge. Not exactly a superstar performer, but it will run most games on low or medium. And it overclocks like a MFer. Ideal for light gaming & office/internet applications.

Move that GPU to the CPU package and you will have the same thing. One heatsink/fan and probable power savings.
