This is pretty cool.  It sounds like once AMD gets their hybrid graphics hardware to act stably, entry level gaming systems will be available at the sub $1000 range ($599 speculated in this blog).  It is a good move on AMD’s part to try to make the CPU seems less important to system performance since they are unable to over take Intel.  However, recall that Intel has also recognized the importance of the GPU moving forward so AMD will not find this to be an easy to fight either.  This all, though, is good for the customer who will have all sorts of computer choices available to them because the competition between Intel, Nvidia, and AMD/ATI.  I look forward to seeing how things are in 2009 as this war heats up.
