Yes, to us enthusiasts and gamers, these multi-GPU laptops and desktops are important and desirable. But when the OEMs report that they sold 305 million desktops, notebooks, and servers in 2009 alone (not including phones or tablets!), do you think PC gaming hardware (including pre-built) would even make up a single percent of those figures?
You guys make valid points, but you're not looking at the bigger picture. Fusion/HSA/GPGPU isn't about budget gaming PCs, it's about radically changing modern processor design for a huge leap forward in efficiency, power and possibilities.
Currently, there is an Intel CPU + discrete GPU setup that matches the power and budget for most of AMD's APUs. Intel has nothing to worry about yet. And how many people buy OEM desktops with the intention of buying additional hardware for gaming? I could probably fit them all in my house. An OEM Sandy Bridge Pentium/Celeron system can get a cost-effective graphics power boost just like the OEM Llano system (albeit not as much).
I've said it before and i'll say it again: if AMD strikes gold with its plans, Intel won't be focused on designing budget gaming solutions.











and then write such nonsense It is very obvious that you do not know what is AMD APU/Fusion and what it actually means.For example i3 2100 or i5 2500K or i5 3350 are not APU processors, just because you have a graphics core on it if by chance you did not know that.
