Re: He was mentioning integrating cpu and graphics on hand held devices (we all presume x86 now, right), and Intel has stated major objectives in that area. Intel stated "major objectives" in Netburst frequency scaling several years ago which were never realized. Objectives aren't accomplishments. I have no reason to assume that either company is not going in this direction. No one is arguing that AMD and Intel aren't talking a lot about CPU-GPU integration. I would assume that Intel would be further ahead as AMD just started in that direction yesterday. Intel has had past experience which they probably used 4-5 years ago (Timna) to develop what will be in Nehelem which I would presume to be their latest experience as I would assume that's pretty well defined at this point. No they didn't. AMD started in that direction a few years ago when they bought the Geode product line and started using Geode GX CPUs in PICs. One reason for purchasing ATI was CPU-GPU integration, which meant AMD was planning for CPU-GPU integration before their negotiations with ATI ever started.
