Interesting development coming, as rumored, AMD graphics combined with an Intel 45W chips. These are apparently the same chips that will appear in iMac's in the future. Sounds like they may still have Intel IGP's on chip as well.

It has been discussed if this is a play just for Apple, given that Apple was behind Intel implementing eDRAM on its Crystalwell processors, and the latest generation of Crystalwell parts seem to be in Apple iMacs almost exclusively. That being said, Intel has stated that they have multiple partners interested in the design, and we should expect more information with devices in Q1. With Intel saying 'devices', it stands to reason that there are various OEMs waiting to work with the hardware.
