The reason the X1000 uses PCI-E 16X with possibly a Radeon-4890, isn't because though tempted by AAAAA A-Eon chose otherwise, but simply because the world has changed and NO-ONE even with billions can compete with the likes of ATI and Nvidia.
You are entirely correct.
I am not actually disagreeing with you. I took him as saying that the X1000 isn't interesting to him but the NatAmi is. I understand why he would say that. But if you want to progress then the X1000 way (or the Sam 440/460 way) is the only game in town.
For instance to me - both the NatAmi and X1000 are interesting. But the X1000 (SAM included) is the best way forward if you want to grow a market. I'll ignore his comments about the NatAmi found romanticising about getting a custom chipset again - but if we temper it with reality this just isn't feasible.
I agree with you entirely except for your point abut DH's comments. I didn't take Dave's comments as saying that the X1000 isn't the best strategy - I don't think he's interested in any of that. I think he just simply meant that the NatAmi was more interesting to him - not taking business strategy or anything else into account as we both are.
