The hell? They can't be right, the integrated graphics core has a R 6550? That's what I've got in my desktop right now...

PC LOAD LETTER posted:This is true but if you look at the Zacate APU's and how well they perform with just a single 1066 DDR3 channel then this might not be so bad at all. I have no clue if its because today's CPU's have so much L2/L1 cache that memory bandwidth isn't too important past a certain point or if its because they're hiding a bunch of cache in the GPU itself or something else but AMD appears to be getting some pretty good performance out of relatively low bandwidth. They may actually be able to get close to a "real" 6550. That'd be a heck of a bargain chip if they pull that off, particularly for a laptop. The hell? This is going in a laptop?

Alereon posted:Keep in mind that Anandtech was reviewing a 35W low-power processor, and the laptop with a GT 540M was using a 45W quad-core i7 2630QM. The GPU itself is competitive enough that it instantly obsoletes everything below the GT 555M/GTX 560M, which is amazing when you consider that we're talking about integrated graphics and not having to pay for a videocard at all. I don't think AMD or its OEMs are stupid enough to price Llano notebooks similarly to Sandy Bridge notebooks with capable dGPUs. One thing we don't have yet are gaming battery life benchmarks, which is one area we can expect Llano to excel. It's already winning over dGPU-equipped Sandy Bridge in the Internet and video playback tests, once the dGPU kicks on you'd expect battery life for the GT 540M laptop to fall in a hole. For the love of God put this in a Thinkpad Model T, please please please

Looks like they've thrown Llano in some Lenovo Ideapads, but not much else.

Aleron, where the hell do you get all this information?
