The demo is a bit slow, but if it's being ran at max settings in DX11 with tesselation, it's something to be appreciated. I'm concerned about how important memory bandwidth is going to be with 4 CPU cores and 400+ Stream Processors competing for it. Bare minimum the 400 Stream Processor GPU should be getting 20+ GB/s just for itself.
So what is it, 2 x86 cores? I'd really like to know what settings were being used on the game, that way I can predict easily the number of SPs on the processor. I can see memory bandwidth being a huge culprit too. Either way, 2 x86 cores and as little as 100 SPs would be a godsend for netbooks.
The main point is that AMD finally reaches a moderate laptop battery life at suffitient power. A quadcore is really much for a notebook.

ontario is for netbooks, lliano for desktop and notebooks and of course lliano supports up to 4 cores while ontario only uses 2 cores.

it's Ontario, netbook cpu, not Lliano, the normal one.
