Oh ffs sake!
They are just trying to confuse people now. Considering Nvidia have cards called the 7900 GT/XT/INXS and ATI have the X1950 etc. it's hardly a helpful name.
Oh come on who actually writes games that make full use of this power? While there is a strong games market on the PC the majority of titles are made to be cross ported to the various consoles to ensure maximum returns, therefore the physics and processing in a game are going to be limited to the least powerful processor installed in the current generation of machines.
Everybody knows the real candy comes from a powerful graphics card. Until we enter the era of real time ray tracing or voxels decide to make a return CPU's like this are just overkill.
