Multiple processor cores

[Frizzo]

search engines arent helping me at the moment, someone know what video cards were the first to use multiple processor cores?

HD5970 perhaps:

if you ask the first one then there's also HD4870x2.

What do you mean? GPUs and CPU cores are completely independent.

If you mean shaders, then it dates all the way back to the Voodoos IIRC, though "SPs" were very different back then.

processing cores pixel processors, not sure where you pulled cpu out of what i wrote, i said graphics cards.

"core used in ati gpu are called streaming processor." -lol , thanks bra!
