I think thats extremly unlikely, but what would be the result? You could easily imagine, that SOI bins higher than bulk, at least I would expect that or why is AMD doing all the things on SOI these days? Second you could again assume, that TSMC will by far not reach AMDs own speeds -> double hit. What would be the result? A very low clocked CPU, which is at the lowest end compared to 2800+ Sempron these days. You could also imagine, in what price region these parts will have to be - 20-30$. Funny. May be. I agree CPU(SOI) + GPU(Bulk) is very likely. Fusion is not targeted for extreme markets - low clocked CPU is not an issue here. How much silicon one can save by going to a CPU+GPU design? Verifying? Testing? Etc. costs?
