Next year, Advanced Micro Devices plans to release the first of its Fusion chip family, which combines processor cores and a graphics engine on the same chip. But AMD isn’t alone in its efforts: Intel also plans to combine graphics capabilities with its processors, including low-cost Atom chips for laptops and desktops.
I have now completed the first draft of the patches to add MPX support to Compiz-Fusion. These are only the first draft patches, so there are still tons of bugs to be fixed. After I fix those bugs, I’ll begin work on the Input Redirection patches for the rest of Compiz-Fusion.

Already having a high-performance storage offer for enterprises, Fusion-io has also announced the ioXtreme, a new PCI-Express flash card designed to go in uber-end workstations and gaming PCs.

Some great compositing tutorials for Fusion for intermediate users. Worth a look...
We finally got some hands on time with the Fusion-io solid state drive and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. With 160 gigabytes and up of insanely fast flash memory it will turn your computer into a monstrous photo and video editing beast. But beyond work, this card will do wonders for World of Warcraft multi-boxers. (incl. video and images)
