It's Official — AMD Will Retire the ATI Brand
J. Dzhugashvili writes "A little over four years have passed since AMD purchased ATI. In May of last year, AMD took the remains of the Canadian graphics company and melded them into a monolithic products group, which combined processors, graphics, and platforms. Now, AMD is about to take the next step: kill the ATI brand altogether. The company has officially announced the move, saying it plans to label its next generation of graphics cards 'AMD Radeon' and 'AMD FirePro,' with new logos to match. The move has a lot to do with the incoming arrival of products like Ontario and Llano, which will combine AMD processing and graphics in single slabs of silicon."
Looks like a photon travels 10 cm in a clock pulse at 3GHz.

What?
There ISN'T 2 physical CPUs in the computer.
The CPU is from Intel, the GPU is from AMD.
The confusion is that most regular people know of AMD and Intel as the CPU, ATI and nVidia as the GPU.
As OP said, if there is 2 stickers on the PC, saying AMD Radeon and Intel Inside, they might think the computer have both or at the very least be slightly confused.
I pretty much repeated what OP said, in a slightly different wording.
Though I don't think it'll be a problem, but I see the point.
