[citation][nom]de5_roy[/nom]finally! a 3 ghz llano, and an unlocked one at that! don't mistake it for a sandy bridge e core i7!amd keeps offering quad core mobile cpus at levels intel cannot match.[/citation]
the fact that even the old cpus, the core 2 and core quad are still viable options today, mean that single core is fast enough.
multi core, intel has an advantage, for now, at least till bulldozer gets a revision 2 and properly implemented.
people dont like hearing that though... dont know why.
[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]Of course no benchmarks even against intel low end i3 line. Can't believe how far AMD has fallen in such a short time frame.[/citation]
an amd quad core beats out an i3 hands down. but thats not all. the amd also has a gpu on it correct, which beats the crap out of intel too...
[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]...show me the benchmarks! All I want to see... cheaper but at what cost? I'll spend a few extra dollars for an exponential jump in power. Just don;t understand why AMD can't compete with intel anymore. I don't care about APUs it's made up market from AMD.[/citation]
um... amd easily beats intel in graphics, and a per core, the i3 line is only slightly ahead of amds offerings at same price, but lets put it this way, better gpu beats out 5 seconds off a one time task.
[citation][nom]srgess[/nom]Amd is the shit, i mean by shit , really shit. Dedicated video card is a lot better , sure consume less but give you more. So depend on what you need you cant compare apu vs dedicated.[/citation]
most people get a laptop for... i dont know... NOT PLAYING VIDEOGAMES...
a mobile gameing laptop is out there, and reguardless of who/what you get, they cost several thousand$
these are for the sub 1000$ markets, and most likely sub 600$ and extend battery life too, for a comparable cpu/gou combo.
[citation][nom]pat[/nom]AMD don't care about you. Seriously, they don't make CPU for you only. You're not going to bring them lots of money .... For normal computer usage that 99% of people does, they are perfect CPU. The GPU will decently play casual game and video, while the CPU, even if it is not to par with Intel, will probably run at 800MHz 90% of the time thank to cool 'n quiet.I've once been deceived about a laptop that had great Intel CPU and crappy graphic. Now, I don't care about CPU as they are perfectly powerfull enough for normal task, but rather take AMD graphic over Intel anyday. Sure, gaming or professionnal stuff is an other story... But I'M sure that AMD did not have this market in mind when they release their APU.[/citation]
actually the gpu, i believe it was demoed running final fantasy 14 at one point, and smoothly, game asside, its graphics are a few steps above most casual games.
and to be honest, for most, if not nearly all applications, even bulldozers current preformance is good enough. here let me explain
the p4, once it hit 3ghz, that was the mark... that was where everything runs just fine at. and today, most if not all cpus even at half clock run at least as good as that... that is the mark you want to hit minimum.
