    Well, as long as the development director from AMD says it, it must be the best. All I know is I am running win8 on my Intel and it is great. Oh wait, all the drivers I needed were included from the start? And why would anyone question that any of the other named chipmakers would NOT make drivers for win8? Wow, fail vid. Fail topic.

    I just recently heard about AMD Fusion. Is it like how Sandy Bridge chips have their Intel GPUs?

    GPU's are integrated on die as well, except they're at least twice as powerful as the Intel IGP. Plus you're able to crossfire between the integrated gpu and the dedicated gpu for added performance. Of course this is theory because I haven't been able to get crossfire to work well yet.
