Looks like AMD's priority is to target the high volume bulk of the market first with Llano, hitting all the major volume segments and emerging trends. This is an excellent strategy, and Fusion looks to be what the bulk of consumers will be really interested in. AMD may have just pulled an end around here, and Fusion should give them excellent market penetration.

pretty good write-up on CNet. Looks like Fusion is really starting to gain big traction.

I just bought a W500 and its a great system, but a little low in the CPU and HDD areas, but its still capable of 1080p playback, or HD netflix/hulu streaming through HDMI to the big screen.

Now to find someone who wants to buy it from me so I can trade up to a Z series or Wichita APU

Was thinking of picking one up myself. Probably the only tablet i'd get is one with an attachable keyboard, so that will fit the bill.

Here's some more articles on Desna. Twitter's on fire in the last few hours, lots of people pretty excited about the latest Fusion strategy.

Here's a couple cpuz shots. AMD is selling every Fusion chip they can make on 40nm, Llano on 32nm should shake things up in a big big way.

This looks like just the mobile version, which has the option to Crossfire with discrete.
