shame that the GPU isn't in the mid-high range spec..... i would mind playing quake on the move

Low power video for 2d? Physics chip?

Sounds good!

Good to see AMD moving in the right direction

I'm wondering how this will effect motherboard manufacturing costs, considering you would no longer need to build the video onto the board. This sort of thing would be amazing for an HTPC. Or as mentioned, using it for physics in a game while having a Crossfire setup for video. Either way, lots of potential.

Please let this perform well.

Wow, think of the possibilities. HTPC definitely.

shrike, reminds me of the dan simmons book hyperion book series.

interesting chip, I'm surprised no one has tried this before

isnt this similar to what Intel is doing.. just with a better GPU?

no
this is taking a traditional GPU and putting it ondie with a traditional x86 CPU

intel are making a gpu out of lots of small x86 cores
