Although Intel do have exerience building GPUs, ATI have experience building higher perfomance ones. It's going to be interesting to see what sort of GPUs get integrates - gamer-oriented DX10 modules? Or Consumer-friendly, cheap and low power modules.

Then again, Intel could just add another core and use it for graphics. It's not like they need any help when it comes to slapping on lots of cores on a die...]]>Oct 25th 2006 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://www.batteries-shop.net

(the Firefox 2.0 spell check is unreal)]]>Oct 25th 2006 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/From my understanding, GPU design is much less complex than CPU design. Therefore there is more risk, from a technical standpoint, with Nvidia moving into the CPU market vs 2 companies merging that have knowledge in both areas (Although Nvidia seems very capable). On the other hand there's always risk in 2 companies not merging efficiently.

Downside to having a single CPU/GPU is that you can't do partial upgrades as easily. I usually tend to go through 2-3 graphics cards per CPU to that buy. Anyway, more competition is more better so I look forward to all 3 companies offerings =)]]>Oct 25th 2006 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/
Nvidia is thinking about making a GPU+CPU Hybrid chip use there own tech not intels. In the near future we might see micro-pcs and laptops for under $500 with these chips.

@Alex

Nvidia is to big of a company for intel to buy out. Also Nvidia and intel don't share the same ideology when it come the GPUs and chipmaking. The reason the AMD+ATI deal with through becasue they were two small companies compared to intel and nvidia.]]>Oct 25th 2006 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/Oct 25th 2006 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/amd-and-ati-finally-tie-the-knot-embark-on-fusion-honeymoon/http://gaming.engadget.com/2006/09/29/gazing-down-intels-roadmap-quad-core-yorkfield-set-for-q3-2007/
And I was right!!! Everyone thought it wasn't possible...
I am really excited to see this Fusion thing in action. I believe integration of gpu's and cpu's is the future. Gpu's are excelent at number crunching as has been shown in the recent past. If cpu's could offload the "boring" tasks to a gpu, obvious speed increases will occur. The only problem I could see is the FSB limiting the overall speed. That could definately be an issue... hmmm... We will see!
