    Nice, now we just need 80 CPUs and we won’t need a GPU anymore!

      Perfect! We’d have pretty low utilization on those 80 CPUs, though – if we made them smaller, the power draw would be lower and it would be cheaper. We could then get away with adding more CPUs. It would then make sense to put the array of simple CPUs on its own card, dedicated to graphics processing… wait a minute.

        Maybe we could use a single huge heatsink to cool it off! we could even use 3 fans instead of 1!

      Not good for real-time rendering, but it still has potential for rendering 3D still scenes or frames of a video, or a small studio might have those 80 CPU’s in a render-farm and not need to worry about supply-issues for GPU’S
