    AMD's Kabini: Jaguar And GCN Come Together In A 15 W APU

    alextheblueI'm saying that in well-threaded tasks, the final performance is all that matters to the user. In other words, scaling. And I say that most algorithms used in usual programs are not/can't be threaded well. How about Handbrake results here? A relative good CPU threaded program? About...

    AMD's Kabini: Jaguar And GCN Come Together In A 15 W APU

    alextheblueI would never run anything artificially restricted to one thread, so in a purely real-world usage scenario, single-thread performance of software capable of running multiple threads is less-than-useful. However, as a complete nerd I still like to see the data. I just hate when those...

    Well, for power consumption this is the best review because measure power draw without LCD and does not include battery capacity. All things equal we can estimate efficiency and power reuirements for different tasks. It will be more usefull if you include test with energy measurements, because...

    @americanbrian No, you are wrong. A 14" good 1080p screen is mandatory for office, browsing and light programming+portability, if the CPU is good enough for that tasks. And Kabini is good for that and IF the price of 500USD for this prototype is right is much better for THESE tasks than a crap...

    @cleeve, please provide a link for HP Sleekbook with i3-3217U at ,,starting around $400". At Amazon a 15" Sleekbook with horrible TN lowres display is 512USD. Kabini prototype which you sayed ,,AMD told us the Kabini laptop they gave us would be priced $500 on the market" has high quality 14"...
