The details on AMD's upcoming Llano have been scarce, but a summary would indicate that AMD's first APU will be mainly focused on the entry-level market and will boast a Shanghai/Phenom II-class processor core, combined with 4MB of L3 cache, a possible DDR3 memory controller, support for DirectX 11, third-gen universal video decoder, PCI Express 2.0 and the use of 32nm technology. There's also a possibility that AMD will launch the first APU designed using 28nm manufacturing technology, as the Globalfoundries is expected to have access to 28nm bulk fabrication process in 2010.

This is something that has interested me for a while now and AMD just bought it back to the front of mind in their latest survey.
The APU(Accelerated Processing Unit) idea I think is an exciting one. Integrating a GPU and CPU into one and sharing resources where needed.
Entry level releases will be ok as you will I no doubt get the option to add a GFX anyway for gaming but having access the the GPU features of the APU for regular computing has to be a good thing.
In time I am sure there will be a higher level release which will cover gaming as well as computing I do look forward to this with a hope that AMD can do something special
