Do you want to use this to handle AI?

It depends on what kind of AI you are talking about. Path finding actually maps nicely to the GPU. AMD released a demo that showcases this by running a path finding simulation on the GPU for several tens of thousands of agents. Read all about it in Chapter 3 the Advanced Real-Time Rendering course notes from SIGGRAPH 2008. Demo and screen shots here: Froblins Demo

It would seem that both sides seem to have written this competitor off but PC Perspective thinks quite the opposite. Yes the company is having financial difficulties but AMD already has the technologies that both NVIDIA and Intel are striving to build or acquire: mainstream CPU, competitive GPU, high quality IGP solutions and technology for hybrid processing. This article postulates that both Intel and NVIDIA are overlooking a still-competitive opponent which could turn out to be a drastic mistake."
