We've learned that Swift is the first Fusion that should launch in second half of 2008 and it will be exclusively a mobile part. After that, at some point in 2010, AMD plans to shift the Fusion CPU with an integrated GPU for desktop.

From what we've heard Nehalem generation CPUs will be able to get to market in 2009 for both notebooks and desktop and this doesn't really come as a surprise, as you really need stable and developed 45nm process to be able to make such a complex chip.

ATI does have a point with launching Fusion first for notebooks as this market will vastly benefit from such a chip as a CPU with an integrated GPU will be cheaper to produce and it is cheaper to produce one complicated chip than two less complicated ones.

Dave Orton, ATI’s former CEO, once told us that a integration and putting the chips together significantly cuts costs. A chipset Northbridge  plus a cheap discrete card are more expensive than an integrated Northbridge with graphics capability. This is a way to look it and understand.
