In 2006 when AMD bought ATI the "fusion" project was projected as the future by AMD. Is it projected that the APU will replace the separate CPU & GPU in high end enthusiast rigs and servers or is the APU more conducive to consoles, laptops, and integrated lower end PCs? Is this expected to...

What ever happened to Dave Baumann?

With the success of your APUs in the upcoming gaming consoles, what is the most likely segment of the PC food chain to adopt your APUs next? Laptops because of the smaller form factor? Low to mid range desktops? What is the future of the APU is the server market and higher end gaming rigs...

Let me rephrase my stock cooler question. Why not use a more robust "reference design" incorporating some of the brilliant solutions proven out by your card partners and other 3rd parties in regards to noise and greater heat dissipation...especially at the high end?

With Kavari being the 3rd generation APU from AMD, what are the major improvements that we will see? How potentially disruptive is this technology to the historic relationship of CPU/GPU and system resources in a desktop environment and how does AMD plan to leverage this potential disruption...

What is the rationale for AMD using stock cooling solutions on enthusiast cards at launch when more robust and effective cooling solutions have been demonstrated by your partners and other 3rd parties resulting in superior acoustics, better heat dissipation, and potentially higher benchmarks...

I would argue they could get better yields with their chips by using a more robust cooling solution so they could keep the clocks more stable in a high temp environment. By doing so, some chips that would be normally be binned into a lower performance category might pass muster into a the...
