IF the PCU became "just another chip" we would loose AMD and Intel to see them replaced by every other company that cam make a chip(an all VIA or all nVidia MB). I don't think Intel/AMD would like that....

-Alan I think the nForce already is an AMD only chipset.

IMOHO when you compare the size of a HSF needed for a CPU or a GPU - That shows the CPU is probbably doing more work(since it is sure makeing more heat).
