Have wondered about this for a few years, never seen anything like it but thought it would be cool.
Could they put a socket on the motherboard so you could just install the GPU you wanted and use high performance cooling (like we do now with CPU)? Seems like they could directly connect the two processors more efficiently that way (instead of connecting through PCIe slot) and it could improve the bandwidth to/from the GPU. It should also reduce the cost significantly as you wouldn't need the extras on the video card anymore.
I guess you would also have to install dedicated video RAM somewhere for this to work?
