NVIDIA to Adapt AMD Chipsets to Enable CrossFire X Features on NVIDIA GPUs

Alternatively, instead of bumping costs up with integrating an IGP, why not just clock the add-in boards at much lower core\memory speeds, which in turn will require a much lower gpu voltage to operate in 2D. Simple, and effective. Wake up nVidia \ ATi

The reason for the CPU/GPU integration is the architecture limitation of both designs, CPU's are weak at parallel processing, the GPU is weak at sequential computation, combine them and you have some serious processing power.

This will also bring some much needed cash into AMDs way. You guys have to realize, AMD isnt going into this blindly. They arent going to sell themselves out of the chipset business.

I really like this idea, it benefits Nvidia and AMD at the same time. By having a second southbridge and not voiding any patents it means that Nvidia+AMD boards will be extremely popular! Have a think, four slot PCI-E, for SLI and Crossfire!
