It wasn't all that long ago that INTC used to stongly suggest that external functions would be assimilated by the extraordinary and ever-increasing processing power of their CPU's. I can recall numerous "visions" from INTC implicating that NICs, modems, audio, graphics and who knows what else, were firmly within the sights of their processors. Now you seem to be expanding the scenario to include the processor AND the chipset. I've got a better question for you: open those same many-year-old x86 boxes, look at all the discrete silicon, and identify for us all the functions that have been incorporated into the CPU? Since Day1 of the PC industry many moons ago, I can think of one: Floating Point! So what else am I missing?
