Will CPU's and GPU's ever come on one board?

I ask this because there is a lot of talk regarding the bottlenecks to the data flow between these 2 processors and how it creates a lot of heat which results in requiring a lot of heavy cooling equipment and the usage of a increasingly powerful PSU's.

Perhaps the right approach for the future would be to create boards which posses both the CPU and the GPU. They'd plug directly to the new motherboard which, obviously, would have the appropriate sockets to accommodate such a device. We're talking about a different way of building PC's here, but it's not totally revolutionary. smartphones have been doing it for years now. Why not bring it over to PC's?

Yep - buy a laptop.

Eventually Intel plans to integrate CPU into mobos with solder - like a lot of laptops. It's only a small step to incorporate the GPU. And that's really what you get with integrated graphics anyway.

Ahh, but laptops are not ideal for gaming.

I was thinking more like AMD which make both GPU's and CPU's you know?

They already are. Amd calls them apus, Intel calls then cpus. The highest form of these are already at the 8800gt/6670 levels and are only going to get faster.

That's not it. Bottlenecks don't create heat. They are a waste of money because one thing is holding back the performance of the others. On die gpus will continue to happen. But they have a long way to go before they can get near the fastest of the dedicated gpus.
