As AMD have been so vocal against proprietary software such as Nvidia's cuda and Opencl has been available for a fairly long time now to allow for such gpu/cpu software usage why would they have waited for fusion to "open their wallet"? This is more PR BS, AMD will just wait for 3rd party developers to take this on....if they actually do....personally I'll wait untill the software environment warrants it before I buy a fusion product.

I dont think so. Core i3/i5 are seperate CPU and GPU on a single die (and the GPU is pretty lame). Fusion is a fully integrated CPGPU, and is truly the way forward. Hopefully AMD will integrate a full DX11 part that has most of the features of the current 5xxx.

Intel did the same thing with early dual/quad cores by the way.

Intel es way ahead with those Core i3/i5's, too bad AMD delayed Fussion too far away.

Let's see it they have some nice Directx11 GPU's inside with lots of shaders and everything. I don't care if they are hot, CPU cooling is a much more easy thing to cool, and there are some nice coolers up there to cool a CPU+VGA powerhungry unit.
