Multi cored Graphics Processing Unit

Could someone tell me if it would be impossible to design a Graphics Processing
Unit chip design that implements a similar technology used in multi core central
processing units.

As far as i can tell the advances in semiconducter manufacturing technology made
in the CPU chips have found their way slowly to the GPU manufacture so with this in
mind i cannot see why a GPU chip cant be a multi core system like their CPU
equivalents.

regards

It wouldn't be impossible, it just wouldn't make much sense. GPUs are massively parallel anyway, to speed them up one would just add more of the processors that execute shaders on today's GPUs (a Radeon HD 2900 XT has 320 of them).
