Weird future PC Tech Idaes

I wanted to post some Ideas I have had and see what people thought of them and hear about other peoples ideas.

This is not tech news no one is working on these things! I Got interested in PC hardware will working on something else this is just a post to settle some curiosity.

Idea #1 I a rig with IGPU like some like something with AMD's APU or a mobile processor, With a dedicated GPU. Is it possible to still leverage the power of the IGPU I don't mean like dual graphics because that would cause the dedicated GPU to run at lower specs. I mean like to take a load off the CPU for anything or maybe even post processing Anti-aliasing. Just doing other tasks instead of trying to work in tandem with the GPU and just slowing it down.

Idea #2(a) A APU over PCi in the future as a step towards HSA do you think there will be a APU card. kind of like a xeon Phi. CPU used to use a similar slot interface. these could be used to better AI in game and lots of other thing since the dependence on the on board CPU would be much less. In the future when the performance reaches up this could improve supercomputing allowing one server to have multiple APU, each able to have the speed of fewer cores and the parallel processing power of a GPU working together off the same RAM. lower power consumption sense its all in one and you don't have do CPU processing send it over to a different machine for parallel processing, to do that you would need twice as much ram and storage.

Idea #2(b Ideas for feature of this type of card.

(I)ram slot on the back of the card.

(II)If Gddr was used m.2 port on the back

(III) inter changeable APU use a standard socket on the front.

Idea #3(a) cooling I know vapor chambers are more expensive then heat pipes and should have better performance but Cooler master has started to integrate them into the CPU coolers but they don't seem to outperform what's already out there. there newest one seems to be the worst with it appearing that the vapor chambers are onto of the heat pipes where they would not do as well. Could you do the opposite have a two vertical heat pipes running across in one direction then up to fins and then have the pipes on top of that in the other orientation.

#3(b are vapor chambers more effective than water cooling in general not talking about design that currently exist. Could you use both

© is it ridiculous to have a cooler that has fins on it and pipes running through it that carry "water" for a combination liquid cooling wouldn't the sooner you get rid of heat the more efficient right or is it moving quick enough where that does not matter.

(d) peltier cooling seems like it could become more efficient i understand that if it is used to cool below room temp (over simplified) that it would cause condensation. Could it or other tech like compressed freon like in ac be used in insulated pipes to cool. the higher the delta T the more efficient the heat transfer. Do CPU or GPU even produce enough heat where this would be useful. Would this extreme cooling allow them to run much faster or there other hardware limitation that would kick in first.
