As i said, Intel/Amd have the advantage. And they will push things this way in the future. NVIDIA, the other major player, doesn't have a cpu. Unless it develops one, or cooperates with a cpu player, it will perish eventually.
We are talking about a decade timeframe. This won't happen all at once. believe we will need at least 5-6 years in order to begin using additional APUs instead of a dedicated GPGPU. But i believe that by the time 2020 ends, we will remember dedicated gpus like we remember dedicated fpus now. Like relics.
