Fusion *has* to be built with scaling in mind. Do NOT go for the highest performance with a single die: focus on good performance with near linear scaling. The latest GPUs are showing that trend, here's hoping Fusion gets built with the similar ideas.

Oh, good. I'd be really interested if AMD tosses a few of these onto Mini-ITX boards...also I'm happy to see more DisplayPort support out there, I hope it catches on in a big way in the next year or two.
