jspeed - re: "Intel, the biggest maker of microprocessors, also is the biggest supplier of chip sets. It has put additional pressure on ATI and Nvidia by adding graphic capabilities to its chip sets, reducing demand for separate graphics chips. " Doesn't note the fact that both nVidia's and ATi's integrated graphics annihilate Intel's.

Re: Dave Orton, ATI's chief executive, predicted microprocessors with graphics initially could help bring PC prices to between $100 and $200, down from $400 or so. Sounds like Fusion is a guaranteed money loser. Giveaway desktop CPU prices aren't good enough apparently. Now it's time to give away the GPU as well. Is AMD going to ban NVIDIA, SIS and VIA from producing chipsets which work with Fusion? If they don't SIS and VIA would undercut AMD on price and no longer have to worry about their own terrible integrated graphics performance while NVIDIA could compete on features and reputation.
