Intel's Sandy Bridge CPU to have up to 2 GPUs
@ 2010/02/09We were quite shocked to learn that Intel might be the first company to ever launch two GPUs on the same die. Not only does it look like Intel might be the first with monolithically integrated with the CPU and have Fusion before AMD, bit it might be the first “graphics” company to ever launch two GPUs on the same die.
According to Intel’s plans that were revealed to partners and industry insiders Sandy Bridge, brand new 32nm architecture will have one to two graphics cores on a monolithic die.

The only reason I could see is for yield reasons, Intel can sell models with at least one working core. I think I'll take this report with a block of salt though.
