Wouldn't that be the same as stating that a dual CPU system must be  
compared to a single CPU and the GPU?
I think not! Rather, what could make this PPU different is specialised  
instructions for matrix and vector multiplication like a GPU,
and other physics stuff that i know to little about.

Am I right or wrong?
