I have to go along with this. There is still a significant advantage to
application-specific parts for heavy-duty graphics, but for the kinds of
bandwidths we're talking about here, general-purpose CPUs have been more
than adequate for quite awhile. They're plenteous, cheap, largely
interchangeable, easy to package, easy to interface...
