    This is good news for AMD and mobile devices that want a little more GPU power over the Intigrated Intel stuff. While INTEL has AMD beat as far as CPU performance alone is concerned, it is the GPU in these APU's that really beats the tar out of Intel and really should be popular with the lightweight ultrabook style laptops and tablets. Even the old C-60 in my early W500 tablet has better GPU power than the latest of Atom tablets so with the rise of this new tech, Intel could have a good competitor on their hands in a mobile multimedia/gaming arena. As long as intels onboard graphics continue to leave something to be desired, AMD could make some great strides with these new APU.
