So, looking at that picture I see only 1 main chip? Does that mean they've merged CPU/GPU on the same die?

That answers that one Thanks!

No it doesn't. From this angle, it looks like the 2 memory chips in the centre are also GDDR5 chips (if they use the new higher density chips, they could indeed get  away with only 4 memory chips). The chip labeled "GPU" is actually the chip carrier that contains the CPU and GPU, the chip labeled "CPU" is actually the large eDram chip (same idea as in the XBox360) . Look at the address bus in the other picture, all lines go to the chip carrier.
