Today’s the day the prophesy becomes true.
Thank god we were able to ditch flash player!
I suppose we reached 4096 CPU support before full screen Flash support, just in a different way. Maybe somebody who used Linux in the Flash era can comment if it ever was working well.
How long until CPUs and GPUs just merge into one thing
Probably never. Those 2048 cores are all separate threads. GPUs work with a cluster of cores all following a single thread of execution.
MIMD Vs SIMD.
You mean like an APU?
Not OP, but I doubt that’s what he meant. An APU still has a CPU and a GPU on it as separate things.

Intel has been making CPUs with integrated GPUs for ages, i7-6700K with UHD630 graphics for example, the thing is they contain a very small number of shaders, etc, because there is only so much real-estate on a single die and these weren’t really intended for gaming, just providing enough GPU for a basic display, watch videos, etc.
