AMD Patent Reveals Hybrid CPU-FPGA Design That Could Be Enabled by Xilinx Tech

Article note: ...Like were hot a decade ago with those FPGA-in-Hypertransport-Socket designs like the Convey HX machines. I think it's basically the cisc/risc was the wrong question lesson again, it's shuffling around where and when optimizations happen and trading off general applicability vs. special purpose efforts.
