Intel pulled the bus license from ATI after they got word of the AMD+ATI thing--so ATI didn't really have a choice in the matter.

You can't support future Intel platforms if Intel says, "Take a hike!"

>> "Also, such an approach is going to destroy modularity and freedom to change the GPU at will on any PC. Changing a GPU with a new one will mean trashing the CPU as well, which means higher costs and compatibility issues than current modular approach."
You clearly do not know what you are talking about in this comment. AMD is not going to force you to only use their GPU. There will be an option to use any video card that you want (as long as the chipset on the motherboard supports it).
Recall, AMD is all about choice and they are not going to force you to use an ATI GPU if you are set on nVidia.
Plus, AMD did not divorce nVidia at all. True, the relationship may be a little more bumpy, but AMD still proudly supports nVidia.
