Intel thinks Haswell is going to change Ultrabooks, but there is one big problem, price. If you recall, they are putting a large chunk of memory on the high end parts, and that doesn’t come cheap.
The idea is simple enough, put a large chunk of slow but wide memory close to the CPU and use it to save lots of power. Take that savings and use it for more GPU performance. The problem is that putting the memory on Haswell is complex, and low yields mean higher prices for the functional ones. On top of that, you have the cost of a complex and bespoke memory type that Intel has made specifically for the project. This all adds up.

looks like AMD might final get a big win here
