I'm not saying it works right now, what I'm saying is, in the year 3000, a single multi core chip may be able adequetly dedicate cores, or clusters of cores, to tasks that currently work best with a seperate chip.
@Abuzar: what "single core" GPU are you talking about? The TNT1? GPU's are all comprised of lots of cores. The geforce 3 series had ~24-64 specialized cores, the Geforce 8 series have 96-128 general purpose cores.

I could see it.... 8 core processor, these 4 do cpu, those 4 do gpu...

Run a 3Dmark06 CPU test. My Quad core only manages 3FPS. A SINGLE core GPU will easily manage 50 FPS on those settings.

Kind of like what we have now.
4 Core processor. 4 Core SLI.
