They probably thought announcing a higher transistor count would sound awesome. "We have five trillion transistors, overclock every one!"

I picked up this guy last week and it's pretty drat cool (E-350). http://www.the-other-view.com/zotac-ad02.html I don't know what that guy is talking about in the comments, it's dead silent for me. It's hard to beat for only $319 ($250 sans RAM/HDD, you provide your own). Using it with an external cablecard. Still tweaking it but so far it's keeping up with two tuners recording HD channels.

I'd replace my four aging family PCs with four of those babies assuming the price is right. Save the juice and they could still game.

Is any of this tech making it's way into a Win8 tablet?

Question. I'm debating between a core i3 and one of the new Richland APUs for my four family PC upgrades. My main driver is best all around performance for the 55-65w TDP range. I'll be keeping their discrete cards and am wondering if I do an APU and disable it in the BIOS does it technically drop the TDP lower? Like if I did a 100w one would it still use that much power with a disabled GPU or drop down much lower to be more competitive with an i3 under load?

I can't strain the budget as high as an i5. Mainly I'm looking to try to collectively reduce heat/power usage, there are four PCs all in one spot in the house and it can get warmish and I don't want them too close to breaker popping. Also if I get them low enough I can plug them all into one (or two) big UPS, I don't need them to stay on long just not reboot for minor power blips, etc. Also I know jack poo poo about electricity so maybe I am over-thinking this. They are all x3 720s right now because I got them on a really good deal long ago.

Yeah if I recall thy were actually getting screwed hardest by Intel monopoly poo poo right during the time they had their best chip to compete (were actually winning). So an argument could be made that they may have been cheated out of a ton of gained momentum. Although I'm not sure they had the production capacity to supplant Intel contracts anyway.
