"AMD's plan to integrate a CPU and GPU on a single chip, codenamed Fusion, has been a hot topic since the CPU manufacturer first announced it planned to purchase ATI. AMD hasn't had much to say about Fusion lately, beyond confirming that the project exists and is still in development, but new rumors have surfaced over what form Fusion might take when it surfaces in 2009."

I'm glad they're opening documentation and thinking outside the box.. but, they're sacrificing "choice".
If this the future of AMD/ATI graphics controllers, this will mean it won't be possible to use combinations.. an ATI graphics card with an Intel processor for instance.
Hopefully this will be a second market, embedded perhaps... because, frankly.. what if someone wanted to use an AMD card on a non-x86 system? Nothing explicitly disallows that on systems with a PCI/AGP bus.
