Hmaly, SOC integration is definitely the trend for embedded systems, set top boxes and information appliances. I agree that it is non-optimal for PC's however. Scumbria

hmaly, > With how long it is taking Intel to bring this so called wonder chip to market, it will be obsolete before it makes it first sale. And that could be its principle drawback, the increased complexity of the job takes longer than changing an individual part. Therefore. Timna will never keep up with the fast changing processor world and likely will be an even bigger dog as time goes by because Intel can't keep up with the changes. AMD should thank Brian halla for luring Intel into Timna by the constant hype of his System on a Chip(with 3D graphics) vision. The longer the Timna is alive, the better it would be for AMD. Goutama
