Are you kidding? A normal CPU has nowhere near the parallel processing power of a modern GPU. There is no way that they could provide competitive graphics with a software based approach.
If you are serious, please provide some proof...
Even though I did not say it, it is true...sorta.
The hardware is evolving to completley programmable. I.E. the graphics card hardware while designed for gaming but the developer is not constrained into a single API.
See:
CUDA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA)
Already available. Not totally there yet, but heading in the direction.
There was a recent post by Tim Sweeny (lead engineer of the Unreal series of engines) that stated generally the same thing:

Maybe it will happen, probably. Carmack has been saying similar things recently as well.

Developers are fast heading over to software based rendering, with Crytek and Epic both indicating they are pursuing that direction for the next generation engines. My understanding is that that means APIs like DirectX and OpenGL will become less relevant.

Unless the hardware vendors catch up to that(providing their own APIs and etc), there's no way any sane developers would write their rendering engine from scratch without using any existing APIs.

| Can't use DirectX on the Wii, PS2, PS3, PSP, or OSX. A company which integrates direct x anywhere other than the periphery of its codebase is fuckin itself.. |

I wish OpenGL would become a popular API again. The industry really shafted itself with DirectX, letting it become a closed standard and then watching as Microsoft used it to force people where they wanted. (Vista)
I guess the powers that be behind OpenGL are slightly to blame too though...
