Yeah, kolinko really missed the whole "competitive APU" part of OP's comment. AMD has been pushing "The future is Fusion" and shipping CPU/GPU combined chips that fit in your normal CPU socket (or BGA soldered to a board) since 2011. It did take from basically 2007 to 2011 to do the design and many dev runs through what is now Global Foundaries as the way GPUs are produced when manufactured into silicon by a foundry is fairly different than CPUs, so finding a working medium between those two processes took many failed attempts, pretty surprising they were able to do it in less than half a decade!
