    és a jövő még több lehetőséget is kinyit,
    pl. a FAPU (FPGA+APU) szerű átkonfigurálható [1] mély CPU integrációt.
    Ami akár a következő generációs játékkonzolokban is benne lehet.

    persze az nVidia is csinálhat mély CUDA + ARM integrációt - regiszter és utasítás szinten.

    The programmable unit in AMD's FPGA patent actually shares registers with the processor's floating-point and integer execution units, which would be difficult, or at least very slow, if they're not on the same package. This kind of integration should make it easy for developers to weave these custom instructions into applications, and the CPU would just know to pass those onto the on-processor FPGA. Those programmable units can handle atypical data types, specifically FP16 (or half-precision) values used to speed up AI training and inference.

    In the case of multiple programmable units, each unit could be programmed with a different set of specialized instructions, so the processor could accelerate multiple instruction sets, and these programmable EUs can be reprogrammed on the fly. The idea is that when a processor loads a program, it also loads a bitfile that configures the programmable execution unit to speed up certain tasks. The CPU's own decode and dispatch unit could address the programmable unit, passing those custom instructions to be processed
