For an 8W chip in a $450 notebook this is incredible. GPU performance comes very close to the HD 4000 in the 3317U and the CPU delivers 1/2 to 2/3 of the 3317U's performance while consuming less than half the power and costing next to...

NVIDIA's a generation (well, a half-generation really) ahead of AMD now, yet it seems they're only going to be able to replicate the lead that they had during the days of the 500 series (x970 ~ x70, and that's only IF these cards...
Quote:Originally Posted by mechtech Absolutely not. If it uses enough power to warrant water cooling, its battery life will be very poor. I'd much rather take the same chip, reduce the voltage, lower the clock speeds by 1/2, and...
If this thing has liquid cooling, then MacBooks have liquid cooling and the tiny heatsink that ships with AMD's 125W CPUs is also a liquid cooler.
Am I alone in that I actually like the black/gold color scheme?
Those clocks are really pushing it... I'm impressed. This will probably be a bigger upgrade over Trinity (with the exact same architecture and everything) than Ivy -> Haswell will be
Basically an A4-5300 at 3GHz instead of 3.4GHz for $40 instead of $55. Not a bad value at all. A 2.5GHz dual-core Sandy Celeron with the same TDP and much worse graphics goes for $50.
Typical Apple.
