You called it.
ATI is an anchor around AMD's neck. What could have possibly been their plans?
Nobody wants CPU/GPU combo chips unless they're $2 ea due to their awful performance history. Have they even designed a controller to go with it or are they leaving that to someone else, like NVidia?
Another issue, NVidia used to be friendly to AMD. There always seemed to by some sort of symbiosis, in that so many custom gaming systems were AMD/NVidia setups.
It's like their goal is to eliminate any competition with Intel.

Re: Anyone surprised?
AMD wasted money on ATI imo. and if AMD goes down and ATI doesnt spin off it will take the only Competition to Nvidia with it.

Its not just the CPU though. They used to be enthusiest friendly, and the nvidia IGP boards were an extreme value for the money, when it came to a general use or media player box.
Then they turned their backs on the overclockers, started in with Intel style hype (over nothing), and bought nvidia's only competitor.
