The following image represents Bacon as we and other OEMs know it:

That may change.

HP will be adding a BIOS switch to their Bacon laptops that will 
apparently permit all rendering to occur on the on the Radeon GPU while 
using the IGP exclusively for output.

"Update: There is a BIOS update in the works that will allow you to 
switch from the default Dynamic mode to Fixed mode. Switching to Fixed 
Mode will allow you to run Open GL programs on the AMD Radeon graphics 
processor. We will let you know as soon as this is available."

Stay tuned for details. I intend to lead a testing effort for new 
DSDT/SSDT collection and switch testing once the update comes out.
