?? Where did you see this information in the article?

And stop on by the NVidia site, they have CUDA plastered all over the thing.

*Edit
And is it just me or do the little graphical analysis picture thingies in these articles make like no sense to anyone else? lol

It is just that developers are not really use to parallel processing. 99.9% of developers do not do dual core programming effectively yet even.

The X1900 does not have unified shaders. It has 8 vertex shaders and 48 pixel shaders. ATI's first unified shader GPU was the Xenos for XBox 360 and then the HD2900.

Yes, it's true, but F@H supports Firestream 2U... and the latest not public beta - Rx6yy ...

GPU core: we've got the GPU core running in house and we found and fixed some bugs in our QA stage. We're now continuing QA to see if we find any more bugs. Right now, the GPU core is running on all new ATI cards, so we're excited to roll it out. We are using CAL now (ATI's hardware abstraction layer) and that seems to make life a lot easier, and also should make running a GPU client a lot easier from the point of view of donors, as the driver issues and complexities should now be resolved. We are still looking into an NVIDIA client. The NVIDIA GPUs are very different to program, so a port isn't a simple thing to do. We are looking into this, though.

I can't wait until games start utilizing this. No longer will I have to buy a good cpu if I want to run high-end games. (Though I will probably get one anyway)

Intel alone?????? AMD will not want that either, it would destroy the CPU side of things. But alas, multithreading a game to about 320 different processes is too time consuming, it would never happen. If it did, then Intel and AMD would have a fit.

Intel market cap is 31 times that of AMD and even nVidia is 3 times that of AMD. It is just Intel at this point...
