Yes, yes they have. Go to Newegg.com and search Penryn. They have had 45nm quad cores on the market for months now, its only the extreme edition sure but then again the extreme edition does tend to be on the market for a while before the rest filter out.
As for the hybrid CPU/GPU, if it doesn't approach the performance of today's dedicated graphics cards (and not the crappy stuff like onboard 6150 graphics or even the 3150 from ATI, but 8800GTS levels), then most gamers will ignore it. It'd be bitching for home theater PC users and soccer moms, but the people who make Nvidia oodles of money every year will ignore them,
And NviAdia will probably crush Intel's dedicated graphics anyway. Common Nvidia, buy VIA, make me happy!
