I love how it mentions future generations won't need it.  Unfortunately
they mean future generations of the graphics core, not the CPU since
as far as I can find, the same problem applies to 8th and 9th gen CPUs
since the graphics core design hasn't changed.

I wonder if they will skip 2.0 and go to 2.1 when they finally get around
to updating that design.
