[citation][nom]acku[/nom]That Enhanced Bobcat will be a 2012 move. And that would be "some modern games." CodBO isn't DX11. And I doubt anyone wants to attempt to play Crysis on a Brazos system even at 1024x768http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 790-7.htmlYou will be wanting to look toward Krishna. Ontario and Wichita will still be ala Atom flavors.AMD's mobile plans hang on Llano and the Sabine platform. I'm teething to see them in action.[/citation]
Sorry... when I say "modern" I'm meaning stuff released quite recently as opposed to how close to the bleeding edge they are. You're so right about Crysis, I wouldn't subject a poor little 80SP chip to it whether it was strapped to one or two Bobcat cores or all four cores of a Phenom II X4 975. It'd be funny for all the wrong reasons.
Krishna sounds like the next big step in this market space. Llano and its revised Stars cores will be interesting but I'm expecting bandwidth issues unless AMD have enhanced the memory controller, and even then, this could mean the difference between a smooth game without anti-aliasing and a complete dog once you enable 4xAA.
