Thanks for the interesting and timely review. However, I think it misses some of the more interesting angles to the story. First, according to at least one other review, the APU can overclock to 1.4 on a consistent basis and with all cores in operation. Second, on a clock for clock basis the cpu performs about as well as a intel sandy bridge low voltage processor –albeit a low end two core processor. Therefore, if this processor can actually run consistently at 1.4, then it looks like a pretty good match for intel's low end core-i 3 processors. This is something AMD has not been able to credibly claim in the past, although they have tried. Third, if this processor can compete, clock for clock, at the low end, what can we expect from the Kabini APUs at higher clock speeds? This is the big question. Can AMD turn-out processors with the same architecture running at 2.5-3.0ghz within a reasonable power envelope? If so, then AMD may finally be back in the game.
