"Fusion" is unlikely to arrive before 2009, and I've seen no claim of a completely new core architecture for it. AMD supposedly will be attempting to move to 45nm in mid-2008. I think this is likely to be H208 at best, but regardless, it means that AMD's "shrink" will be up against Nehalem, and given how AMD's shrinks go (witness the 65nm clock speeds), that isn't going to cut it. When Nehalem arrives in 2008, I predict that AMD will fall even further behind Intel in performance than they would be with an IPC-equivalent-to-Core2 Barcelona in H207.
