AMD: quad-core Llano outshines Sandy Bridge

[jamescv7]

AMD has released the first of its 32nm "Llano" processors, claiming they offer superior graphics performance to Intel's Sandy Bridge chips.

Llano wasn't expected to arrive until later this year, but AMD says supplies of quad-core processors are heading to OEMs today.

Llano processors use a similar architeture to current Phenom II and Athlon II processors, but with on-board "discrete-level" graphics - as opposed to the lightweight integrated GPUs found in Intel's Sandy Bridge processors. AMD refers to the chips as "Accelerated Processing Units" or APUs.

What is APU?

This video makes me laugh because the Intel CPU is only running at 2ghz and it doesn't state what the AMd is clocked at. As far as we know it could be running at 4ghz.

I do really hope AMD comes back into form like the Athlon 64 days. Stiff competition is always best for consumer.

They left the i7 as it come by default

So it's i7 vs Llano. Nothing wrong with that
