Personally dont like where this is going, it would seem that it will give consumers less of a choice really and I wonder how all this will affect overclocking.

They're gay. lol funny.. Intel has been making mainstream integrated video for a long time and they never integrated it into the CPU.. there BETTER be plenty of external video cards avaliable once this thing is in full roll or gaming will become quite difficult. And whats wrong with just making bridge chips that do the video stuff? like now? It would make more sense, if theyre going to put the GPU into the CPU, theyre still going to need a bridge chip to communicate with everything but the RAM. Just use the damn bridge chip then, otherwise the only thing they can do to make this make sense is to put the bridge into the CPU/GPU chip as well. Now its starting to sound like the Cell processor in the PS3. Which means that its been done already, and they should let ATI go before they waste too much on R&D on this "Fusion" shit.

Nah, they shouldnt let ATI go. But I do question why they even wanted them in the first place. If I had to choose I would say nvidia is easily the better chipset maker and it would only hurt AMD to see a core 2 board with an nforce chipset.

I dont know, but with the acquisiton of ATI I really dont expect to see to many more nForce chipsets on AMD boards.
