NVIDIA Ion
Do you think this would be available for end users like us? This would make a great hackintosh!

I read something back in December about Intel not wanting to do this. I like how they combined both north and south bridges into one chip. Im curious to see what AMD is going to come up with. I head about AMD Yukon. Something about combining CPU and GPU for netbooks and small form factor devices similar to Ion.
