Have you ever looked at a GPU die?

They aren't that far apart... Their fans are just shaped differently, and they have to use a board, so therefore include all of the controllers and memory on the PCI-e board. Most of the board space is so that there's a reasonable amount of space to dissipate the heat. The heat generation is what makes it so huge.]]>Jun 24th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/nvidia-thanks-intel-for-saying-gpus-are-only-14-times-faster-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/nvidia-thanks-intel-for-saying-gpus-are-only-14-times-faster-t/Jun 25th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/nvidia-thanks-intel-for-saying-gpus-are-only-14-times-faster-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/nvidia-thanks-intel-for-saying-gpus-are-only-14-times-faster-t/Jun 24th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/nvidia-thanks-intel-for-saying-gpus-are-only-14-times-faster-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/nvidia-thanks-intel-for-saying-gpus-are-only-14-times-faster-t/I do.

*Sigh* Yes, for video editing, a GPU does math operations on matrix equations, because those draw and manipulate polygons and whatnot, so a GPU is heavily optimized for "drawing" while a CPU does everything else.
