[citation][nom]whyso[/nom]With regards to compute, 8790 gets about 62 gflops dp. Which is about equal to what you can get from a mobile i7 cpu. AMD crippled their mobile gpu's just as bad as nvidia. The gt 650m will get about 35 dp gflops. The radeon is better, but not much better than CPU.[/citation]
AMD clearly didn't cripple their Radeon 8790M as much as Nvidia crippled their cards if it's nearly double the GT 650M. Besides, that seems more like a case of optimizing their low end models for low power since you're not likely to use a low end graphics card for compute purposes where performance matters whereas you are likely to care about battery life.
