No surprises there. This is the way they've been moving for a while, regardless of what everyone else thinks or wants of them.

Oh, there will be desktop chips, but after Piledriver, they'll be APUs, and only APUs (aka Fusion technology). They won't be competing with Intel at the high end, stop hoping. As always, they'll be in the low-to-mid verging on mid-high performance (best case with overclocking) markets.
