According to AMD, Kaveri A10 is 68% faster than Haswell i5-K on BF4 @1080p medium settings, both using integrated graphics. According to Charlie, Broadwell GPU will be 40% faster than Haswell. Adding that desktop K series will be upgraded to Iris Pro level graphics one obtains that Broadwell i5-K will run BF4 faster than Kaveri. In fact, the Haswell i5-R already offers more than 80% of the performance of Kaveri in BF4.
But let us be conservative and assume that Broadwell i5-R will only run BF4 as fast as Kaveri. Skylake graphics will bring another 40% gain over Broadwell... The claim that Skylake will only be on par with Kaveri is nonsense. It is the same kind of nonsense coming from those believing that Zen will be faster than Skylake on CPU terms.
The people that pretends that the decisions behind KL CPU are marketing are plain wrong. The transition from multicore to manycore is motivated by well-known scientific/technical stuff which is independent of brands and, of course, of marketing. What was really hilarious was reading the "KL doesnt even have an IGP". This proves again this people didn't understand anything of what was said there.
I also find interesting that some people believes that 200--250W APUs will be used for running linux games on laptops. I want see that foolish mobile stuff
