I think we can all agree that APUs have come a ways since first coming out. The poster you replied to was more lamenting how the inclusion of a GPU into my CPU didn't create something bigger than the sum of its parts.

What we have is still a CPU and a GPU. Separate. Discrete. The inclusion changed nothing about what kind of software we can write or problems we can solve. Back when APUs were still just a slide in a powerpoint deck, there was a lot of talk about how this could "change everything" because of the radically different type of compute you could do on a GPU.

The closest thing to this is the coin mining craze, but everyone is gravitating towards the fastest hardware for that. And that's not your APU.
