AMD Finally Ships Fusion Processors

AMD has been talking about Fusion for years now. Over time, the term has sort of morphed from referring to specific future products to a general marketing catch-all designed to help people think of the CPU and GPU (graphics processing unit) as the same thing. Somewhere along the way the term effectively lost all real meaning, as delays in AMD's "combination CPU and GPU chip" allowed Intel to catch up to the idea. Today, later than planned and not ahead of rival Intel, AMD is finally shipping a single piece of silicon that combines a CPU and GPU.
