But how does Fusion affect this? There's a damn direct, short copper line straight between the two, they use the same ram..

And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the WHOLE POINT of Fusion/APU's?

I am very excited about this fusion stuff. Am I correct in my analysis that this can create some quite powerful small devices? Think graphics power comparing to top of the line GPU's now along with some nice strong CPU all in an mini-ITX form factor. Actually being able to play decent games on a tiny media center running linux

Well, fusion doesn't magically solve the heat problem. Try cramming a high-end 6-core and a 5890 into a single package, then try keeping it cool without liquid nitrogen. Doesn't work so well.
There will be several fusion chips with different tradeoffs between CPU and GPU power. It'd make sense to start with the models with low-end GPUs: it's enough for office work and HTPCs (assuming UVD works), so it's probably the configuration that's expected to sell best. More models can be delivered later to suit different needs.

what about including Intel IGP ?

btw push 28 fps cpu only is quite an achievement
I personnally own a 9800 GT and will never think about using this software driver (and for any Nvidia/Ati solution); but on M/B with intel integrated video, for me, it make sense to compare it with any kind of intel dedicated drivers (open/closed source) or other software solution like Mesa.
Hope it will come with the next Mesa soft. vs LLVMpipe bench.

Yes Intel IGP is already done as part of next comparison. Mesa Software Rasterizer was thrown out though since it can't break 1FPS.Michael Larabel
