"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."

How is this going to limit choice or change anything? This combo will be aimed at low cost desktops and laptops. Much like their old MediaGX chips.
I was replying to BSDFan and saying the same thing. Unless they artificially limit the external GPU options, things will work the same way.

Right now I am using an ATI card on an nvidia chipset with on board video. You can so the same with an Intel chipset with onboard video.
I'm not sure why moving the onboard GPU to the CPU would prevent this sort of thing, I don't see it limiting choice at all, unless they artificially prevent it.
