[citation][nom]maniac5999[/nom]Just FYI, I've been looking foward to this since November when it was first announced. Here's the info I've uncovered. (All about the dual core version, why go for a single core just to save $50) A) It's a 1.6ghz K8 x2. It's easily twice as powerful as an Atom, and about as powerful as a 1.3ghz CULV. The 3200HD is still AMD's go-to IGP, the 4200 just adds dX 10.1, and the 3300/4290 are just clocked higher. It's about half as powerful as an Ion/9400 and can run circles around any Intel IGP. Battery life is mediocre. Hexus got an early engineering sample and reported 4 hours, which is a little less than an Asus 1201. Now these Athlon Neos are supposed to undervolt rather well, so it might be able to make battery life about the same as the 1201.[/citation]
Where did you get that the 3200 is 1/2 as powerful as the ion? I have two HTPCs, one with an amd 3200, and the other with an Nvidia 9300 (same as ion). Other that the Nvidia having better Linux support for video acceleration, they are pretty much on par. I think the 3200 actually does better in windows benchmarks.
