Pravin, SInce the box will be a stripped down PC-like device there will be no reason for card slots etc, so they may even be able to integrate the chipset, video, cpu etc all into one device. SInce a lot of the pin demand is talk among these parts the final package could be a lot less connection pin intensive, need fewer current drivers etc. So the integration concept is quite valid and is indeed one way to svae money and real estate.
Still need external memory, I/O etc, but if some of that is done via USB or firewire the final package could be very compact indeed.Using AMD gets them a firewire license?
