NVidia's has a certain amount of validity in saying that the GPU is pretty important -- it matters way more than the CPU for gaming and decoding HD video. Even Vista now basically requires a reasonalbe graphics chip (although a decent integrated chip will do fine there).

On the other hand...I'm pretty sure that *most* people aren't gamers and watch most of their movies on a TV... and all the rest of the computer tasks you might be interested in rely on the CPU (and ram and hard drive...) to be nice and speedy. Nowadays, our computers are bogged down with firewalls, antivirus, anti-spyware, etc...if you don't want to notice a slowdown, you need a good CPU, and the GPU's aren't doing anything to take care of that constant workload]]>Apr 25th 2008 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/nvidia-vp-joins-the-smack-talk-fun-says-the-intel-cpu-is-dead/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/nvidia-vp-joins-the-smack-talk-fun-says-the-intel-cpu-is-dead/On another note, thems fighting words are sooo fun to watch.]]>Apr 25th 2008 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/nvidia-vp-joins-the-smack-talk-fun-says-the-intel-cpu-is-dead/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/nvidia-vp-joins-the-smack-talk-fun-says-the-intel-cpu-is-dead/..yeah, they are kinda fun to watch.

When Nvidia manage to crack the concept of Dual Core and Quad Core GPU's rather than adding more and more Mhz to their GPU's and memory, and reduce the power output accordingly - then I will sit up and listen. At the moment Nvidia seem to be emulating the Pentium 4 roadmap. Intel realised that it couldn't continue to ramp up the Mhz in these chips. Nvidia need to bite the bullet and revamp their chips in a similar fashion.]]>Apr 25th 2008 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/nvidia-vp-joins-the-smack-talk-fun-says-the-intel-cpu-is-dead/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/nvidia-vp-joins-the-smack-talk-fun-says-the-intel-cpu-is-dead/
