So this is almost equal to a radeon 6700? anyway can't wait to get one :D

@MelloOwnsRyuuzaki :- No, more like Radeon HD 6300 or thereabout. No firm details yet, but that's what we know so far.

Can't wait for the next generation of netbooks - playing mass effect 3 in the train on my little APU machine:)

i think amd should really boss the next xbox, and stick to things like that. cuz i think intel has the market for a long time now.

Intel had to use a half ass gpu just to beat AMD to the punch

I am greatly in favor of this type of technology becoming available to move us to a slightly new direction in the evolution of computer components but it has a way to go before it will be a viable substitution or replacement for a dedicated graphics card. Mabey when they hit the 22nm architecture they will be able to make it much more powerful, who knows?

[blankie22]

the AvP demo sucked, they didn't even demo a portion of the game that requires a substantial amount of graphics processing such as a large fight scene or any fight scene with fast motion or explosions. The simple fact about it is they are trying to demo their product as if it is worth equals that of a 6950 or higher but the reality is IT DOESN'T!!!!

[shaqdchosen]

intel and nvidia would destroy amd forever

@jaisah2 those apu is competing againist those i3s and low end i5s not i7s. I hope some intel guy doesn't come here saying that "I get more frames with my i7 990x with 24 GB(2200) GB of ram and 2 Nvidia GTX 590 OC'd"

---

check what is this competing in

A series are competing the I3s and I5s

E series are competing Atom

Lol i went to the same "browser flip" website that they went to and got 60fps flat, no matter how fast i go i still get 60fps. Im running sandy bridge i7 2630QM. I saw theirs drop down to 45fps at some points and generally sat at about 51fps.

3 people have intel hd graphics

@spartand001 NICE :D
