The AMD Brazos platform, consisting of the Ontario and Zacate processors, were announced in Nov. 2010. Shipments to OEMs happened after that and initial products hit in January 2011. Intel announced Sandy Bridge on Jan. 9, 2011, with availability of these products in mid-February. Then they had the chipset disaster. So, even though it is close, AMD did ship products before Intel did, and could claim the first x86 processor with an integrated GPU (though Geode LX looks to have had the graphics portion on-die, it was not nearly advanced enough to be considered a GPU).
