Graphics card like memory bandwidth. CPU (with DDR2) has a lot of it. HT only lets a fraction of it through (4 GB/s), unless AMD was willing to widen the HT link to 32 bits, and go a bit higher with clock speed.

The GPU could still access its own exotic local memory, using HTT as a high bw low latency link between GPU/CPU. It would make GPUs more amenable to general-purpose acceleration, especially if it used cHTT.
