Nice. Reminds me of the good-old-days of AMD.

It is also nice to see AMD doing something useful with ATI. I'm not sure if AMD actually was the first to integrate a GPU into a CPU though, as Intel has Xeon chips with built-in video processors, and since they are in the 1200 series (socket 1155) then I'm pretty sure that it isn't brand new.
