AMD Fusion Details Leaked

negRo_slim writes "AMD has pushed Fusion as one of the main reasons to justify its acquisition of ATI. Since then, AMD's finances have changed colors and are now deep in the red, the top management has changed, and Fusion still isn't anything AMD wants to discuss in detail. But there are always 'industry sources' and these sources have told us that Fusion is likely to be introduced as a half-node chip."

I don't know for you fellow geeks, but as soon as I see one more attempt at doing integrated graphics in CPUs an alarm goes off in my head, the one that means "SLOW CRAP ALERT".

Integrated graphics suck. Always have, always will. More cost for same perfs == teh suck. Shared memory == teh suck. They will suck at 3D, and render desktops with tearing and artefacts when you drag windows. Teh One True Suck.

Ideas like this are one of the reasons why computers still take as long to boot as they did ten years ago, based on the fact that Some People Never Understand.

Only one thing to do with products that you just KNOW will make your life miserable : BOYCOTT.

Just use real CPUs (Intel) and real GPUs (nVidia).

Gaming is for consoles : cheap, displosable computers that only do games (and maybe run Linux because you're such a geek). Seriously, a PC you'd WANT is $2000+ and a console is $300, so why pay seven times the price just to run games anyway?
