    very few people with an i7 sandy bridge are using intergrated graphics... and this new amd cpu processing power cant touch anything SB has... and who the hell plays games with an IGPU.

    Believe it or not many people play games that don't need the latest and greatest dedicated card. Llano will do quite fine for a number of people.

    It beats Dirt using IGP only however. Using a dedicated card is another story.

    This will change the mainstream gaming/multimedia laptop market entirely.

    Can you please explain how you can achieve 31% better perf in Photoshop when you overclocked the chip by merely 25%? This is technically impossible, unless other factors than clock come into play... I'm a bit irritated that this didn't even strike you as odd in your review!...

    It must be very easy to make you angry. It is not technically impossible because other factors than clock do come into play. We did not find this odd because the memory frequency was boosted by 50% and that will make a huge difference with this processor. The higher memory frequency can also be utilized better by the overclocked FSB, another factor that helps boost the performance beyond what might normally be expected.
