AMD: The Future Is Fusion (www.youtube.com)

A long time ago AMD marketed an idea of a CPU and GPU in one package. It wasn't long before the idea was mocked as a non starter. Yet with the advent of recent consoles and now portable PC consoles, I find it fitting that AMD were indeed right, and The Future is indeed Fusion.

I was thinking this marketing video would be a cool Steam Deck boot video!

Edit: removed date as not sure if it's accurate.

It absolutely does feel like the future of personal computing is headed down a highly integrated path.

This does have positives such as lower power consumption and more efficient designs. However, normally these types of devices are fairly locked down while running proprietary OSes.

That's where the Steam Deck shines. Valve is showing that not only can you have a highly integrated and power efficient design it can also be an open platform running Linux. That's a big part of what makes the Deck special, at least for me.
