AMD's acquisition of ATI will enable them to sell packaged systems which may hit budget conscious gamers though. So greater chip technology may not always equate to better product in the grander scheme of things.
The centrino was very similar in this respect because it came packaged with a matching intel chipset and on board video for business computers despite its vastly underpowered per clock rating compared to its amd competition.
