Considering both AMD and Intel have FOSS drivers, but Intel actually has plans for dedicated unit hw video accel (while AMD has plans not to)..
It's of course theoretical until either happens, IIRC Intel doesn't have vaapi support for the Atom gpu yet.
@bridgman: are the 80 shaders enough for high-level H.264? For the supposed shader accel.

UVD support is looking like the major missing puzzle piece from AMD right now. I don't see how they expect to contend with Ion without it, since these CPUs are exactly the ones which would benefit the most - although maybe they just view the Linux HTPC market as too small to worry about.

BTW, ION is a dead end. Who wants a 18W GPU where you can get AMD or Intel CPU+GPU solution within the same thermal enveloppe? Besides, the Intel Ironlake performance is on par with ION. Likewise for the Fusion parts, I'd guess.

Interesting... On the AMD Fusion website it shows that Fuseion has a UVD?
Spoken language != writen language. The written language is standardized, but greatly influenced by the spoken language, which is defined by the times
Language standardization is never done/completed. It's a continues process.
