This article is stupid. Although CUDA and STREAM take graphics processing strain away from the CPU more, that is not this technologies greatest benefit....
The idea is that they will be used to process more than graphics. A graphics card processes 1080x1920 things in miliseconds all at once. Imagine having a 280-core cpu or more that can process 280 things at once (GTX 280 stream processors number I think). That is what this is. A CPU will always be needed to run the kernels, but a GPU will become the new multi-core eventually.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
