also @ TechSpot: Asus' new lineup of Z87 Haswell motherboards revealed
The company’s marketing talk claims better graphics performance compared to Intel’s current Atom platform, with DirectX 11 support, dedicated 1080p HD video processing and HDMI out, as well as better CPU performance and "all day" battery life that can hit 10 or more hours. There are four total chips in two families built around the new Bobcat core to start: “Zacate” takes the top two spots with the dual-core E-350 running at 1.6GHz and single-core E-240 clocked at 1.5GHz. Both pack a Radeon HD 6310 graphics processing unit featuring 80 cores clocked at 500MHz and have a TDP of 18 watts. Meanwhile, Ontario comes in the form of the dual-core C-50 and single-core C-30 running at 1.0 and 1.2GHz, respectively, and featuring a 280MHz Radeon HD 6250 GPU along a lower TDP of just 9W.
Lenovo already announced a system based around the E-Series, the 11.6-inch Lenovo X120e, and today HP has done the same by taking the wraps of its new Pavilion dm1 which carries carries 3GB of RAM and 320GB of storage as standard while supporting extras like GPS mapping and an external Blu-ray drive. We expect more announcements in the days ahead and the company says tablets and other embedded devices are coming in the first half of 2011.
Later this year AMD will also launch the 32nm architecture A-Series "Llano" APU for mainstream laptops and desktops, with four cores and a DirectX 11 graphics, followed by "Zambezi" desktop chips with four to eight Bulldozer cores.

Can someone fill me in on why is there such a need for integrated graphics so much when it's such low levels of performance? Or is this based squarely for the laptop market?

The 10+ Hours of use looks promising..
-
years of work and they make a slightly slower processor compared to Intel ?

integrated graphics uses less energy, allowing for longer usage. these kinds are computers are for people that dont need gpu/cpu intensive processes. alot people use their computers just for word processing, watching videos, using the internet, and other things like that.
im pretty sure integrated graphics are only used in stuff like net books, laptops, phones, and tablets.

I see, that makes sense.
It's definitely not aimed towards graphics artists or gamers that's for sure lol

No its not...yet. This is the opening volley in the CPU/GPU integration. AMD/Intel had accomplished what no one else had though. Get it to work. Remember Larrabee?

From what I can find on the subject, it looks like the time from fusion/2600/2500k IGP performance to discrete Graphics being in the rear view is about 3 years.
Like to hear from others on their take on this timeline.
