[citation][nom]jescott418[/nom]So did the clock rates stay the same which is slow? Graphics seem very good but the CPU part of the APU is weak. I will give AMD credit for these APU's being better then Atom's. But that's not saying much. Its really a moot point anyway, Small netbooks or notebooks are kind of dead anyway.[/citation]
Clock speed says very little about performance. Even on the CPU side, AMD's offerings outperform Atom by a wide margin (thanks to thinkgs like out of order execution).
Netbooks dead? They hype's over, but dead is too strong a word. There will always be a market for netbooks, as all of their competitors have a fundamental flaw:
- Tablets? Fun, not functional.
- ULV laptops? Almost as small and far more powerful, but more expensive.
- Ultrabooks/Macbook Air/high end ULV-thingies? Even more powerful, but also even more expensive.
