Thanks for your thoughts, but I think this line is the major
topic of your message:
"
Fusion is a mainstream play, not a high end play. It will enable better integrated graphics
"
which assumes one point, which is ex ante not right. Why?
Is anyone here, how knows, what IGP performance Intel and/or
Nvidia will have at the given timeframe, when AMD will be able
to launch, if ever? So, it could and should be, that a Fusion
product is better than a AMD CPU on an AMD IGP setup, but is
that package also faster than the fastest Nvidia and/or
Intel IGP setup at that future point? You should take that
into account and I'm sure, that at least Nvidia will have
a very compelling product on the shelfes even if that will
consume a few more mm^2 - be prepared.
edit:
I'm not sure, what Intel plans to do, but if they step up to
much never nodes also on the chipset side, they will be able
to do nice things. 65nm at 2008 is a safe bet, is Intel
"able" to do 45nm for some "special" chipsets in 2008 already?
