Can't the engineers from processors company design their processors so that no high-end graphic card is needed to play 3D graphic or games?
Now, we have to pay for expensive processor and graphic card in order to play latest 3D game.

I have read from some website that sooner or later the processor (espcially the multi-cores type) will be powerful enough to take over the task of the high end graphic card.
Both the CPU and GPU processors are communicating each other when running 3D graphics or games. (If you have either one of low end - will create bottle neck). By combining these two into one, there will be cost and space saving and the speed will be much faster and more efficient.
So, I agree why pay more for a processor (as a brian of computer) that can't do all his works and assign to third party? I am looking forward to solution to this too.

that's just it..you dont need an expensive (latest and greatest) processor, if you get a good Video card, a lot of system memory, and a mother board that has good I/O b/w the backplanes.
the reality is < 10% of the games out there actually utilize > 75% of the features on todays "best" hardware built as a single system.
Besides, the CPU has only one real responsibility, getting the PC up and running, everything else should be offloaded..

The processor is not involved in doing the graphics; that is done by a separate processor on the graphics card. Different chip, with different properties.

If they combine them, then you'll have to pay the same price of both of them combined and at much higher price.
They separate them so at least you get your processor first, then decide how much to pay for the graphics. Some people don't need the graphics.

Because the idea is to have hardware that is not dependent on the CPU resources for its operations. The CPU has enough to do without having to send/receive data back on forth over the bus for memory allocation along with input output data, thats what bogs down a computer.
