OK, I did some reading on Anandtech and it looks like AMD is still not bitstreaming with their current gen on board graphics. The 890GX release looks to be a maintenance release as a bridge to their APU solution. It looks like that is going to happen in 2011 and it will be based on the current 5x series gpu.
Looks like Intel has made big gains with the i5 chip. The actually get similar performance to ATI's current onboard solution, which is a huge leap in performance from a year ago.
I'm thinking that the AMD 5x cards must do proper bitstreaming.
