[citation][nom]rds1220[/nom]LOL they act like they re-invented the PC, when Intel has had integrated graphics for generations now. Meanwhile after all that the APU is junk. The graphics are good but processing power is slow and shitty.[/citation]
They actually just might kinda re-invent how CPUs and GPUs impact performance, so your comment will probably fall on deaf ears. Furthermore, having an IGP and making use of it are two entirely different things, especially given the difference in performance between Intel's IGPs and AMD's IGPs as well as how AMD was the first to have true entry-level performance graphics rather than minuscule GPUs that can hardly do anything intensive at all. Intel and AMD have been going quite different ways with their IGPs until Radeon 7000 where AMD also added what might be competition for Quick-Sync, but it's on all of their Radeon 7000 GPUs if I remember correctly, not just their IGPs.
Also, the CPU performance of the APUs is actually quite good, especially with Trinity, considering their prices, target markets, and purpose. Trinity is a huge leap towards Intel as far as CPU performance was concerned and I'd take a Trinity quad core over an i3 for pretty much any computer that I could. The same would not be true if it was quad core Intel CPUs versus the quad core Trinity CPUs, but versus the dual-core Intel CPUs, I'd go with Trinity every time within practicality.
The APUs are most certainly not junk. AMD has been quite clever with them, although I still do think that they could have done better, but I think that about a lot of things that AMD and other companies do.
