AMD CEO Talks about AMD's vision for next generation processors

Hector Ruiz used an interesting term that I haven't encountered before: heterogeneous cores. Currently as we know the dual and quad core processors today have multiple identical cores. This produces more chips per density and increases computing power. However, this basically means getting a bunch of chips in one. The distinction of heterogeneous cores is an ability to bundle cores that do different things in one processor. Hector uses an example of placing a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) core along with a CPU core. Makes me wonder if CPUs will still have the same acronym :)
