I have a feeling, instead of leading early, it will be an also ran.
Not meaning it wont be good, but going by how the business runs, all the wins will go to Intel, leaving once again little for AMD, but it will be worth it, and once again, the emerging markets will snap them up, such as India and China

amd should focus more on india and china before they take up buying entry level tablets instead of netbooks and pcs. right now, amd can easily sell a lot of apus sole riding on igpu performance. they just need to put more effort behind their marketing.

In India, 90% of the people dont know what AMD is. Because AMD does no advertisement here. We have Intel ads on TV, but no AMD ads in either TV or newspaper.
I am highly sceptical of people buying AMD APU's here, simply because they dont know it exists. And all the major OEM sites dont have AMD notebooks/desktops on their online ordering page.
amd has very little publicity in those countries. intel has a much wider and stronger presence there. hell, even ultrabooks have more p.r. than apus, core2duo cpus still sell, so do coolermaster's psus >_>. intel has already started selling intel-based smartphones in india and has tablets and tablet pcs available.
amd apus have huge potential in countries like india where integrated gfx is all people need, and a lot of time they ask for igpu performance so that they can save money skipping a discreet card.
u.s. and european markets are saturated and those people are taking up smartphones and tablets, in emerging markets, this sort of undercutting would mean lots of sales for amd.

looking at haswell's naming ... wtf ...
I5 4430, I5 4570, I5 4670 ... 3.0 3.2 and 3.4 ghz ...
Interesting enough, one rumor seems to be true, no dual core cpus aside from that I5 4570T (another naming wtf).

The era of 'you just need a dual core' is now ending." -palladin9479
