Intel's Ivy Bridge Architecture Exposed

Yes, I know about the decoders on video cards, I'm interested in the ones where it is 'common' (or 'usually' as the OP uses it) to see them integrated with regular CPUs in the same package but 'off die'.

Basically all non-netbook laptops sold within the last 6 months have a CPU that has on-die video decoding, but many (though still a minority) desktops don't. I'm not sure why you're bringing MCMs into the discussion, those were the norm in Intel laptops for about a year before that with the Nehalem chips in laptops, but right now the only MCMs being sold are server chips which don't have GPUs at all, but rather require more silicon than can economically be produced in one piece.

All Intel Sandy Bridge processors with an enabled GPU have them, also all AMD Fusion APU processors.
