Is that really a good idea? combining both CPU and GPU onto one chip??

EDIT: NEVER MIND!!

From Wikipedia on the AMD Fusion:

Performance

It is expected a speed increase in both CPU and GPU processing with Fusion. As the CPU and GPU will be on the same die, the information transfer between the CPU and GPU/GPU memory will be significantly increased since there will be no need for the information to travel on a bus as there is with current motherboards—resulting in the GPU able to shunt far more data than on the PCI Express bus, due to significantly larger amounts of bandwidth available.

Yup, but that's not all. Combining CPU and GPU into one chip also means cheaper hardware, much less hardware compatibility issues and no need for upgrades!!! Basically it nearly kills the 3 reasons that some people have against PCs.
