Now that would be interesting, an 125W TDP FX 8350 staying 5, frosty on air and easy on the currents.
like the 3rd article from charlie...:biggrin:

Don't worry - the award will no doubt be torn to shreds by our local forum experts, who are much more quialified than "a panel of esteemed government officials, academics, research analysts, editors-in-chief of key media outlets and industry experts ".
Sure will. Funny that Computex doesn't start for nearly two weeks yet, and yet we have a best of show winner. Wonder how that happens?
Oh, could it be because AMD is a member of the Taipei Computer Association? Or maybe it's because they are a show sponsor with one of the largest booths? http://booth.e-taitra.com.tw/tts/bo...&showyear=2012&language=en-US&invnum=22554573
No it couldn't be any of those things, after all money doesn't influence private corporations, does it?
But let's say it's not just a bought and paid for media event. Explain this please: Every winning x86 computer system has an Intel CPU in it. Not a single AMD based system to be found.
http://techreport.com/articles.x/22894/7 said:Ivy performs pretty much as you'd expect when confronted with high-def H.264 videos—flawlessly. Windowed Flash playback is another story. We tested Flash 11.2 in Chrome and were dismayed to find that playback wasn't particularly smooth despite the low CPU utilization. Switching to full-screen mode seemed to resolve the problem entirely, though. I expect we can chalk up that unexpected kink either to Flash itself or to Intel's drivers.
But because the trinity processor takes 1.3 seconds to do a complex spreadsheet calculation whereas the ib chip only requires 0.9 seconds, the intel is so much better?
Except that Intel is also a member of TCA as are 4000 other companies, they're delivering keynote speech and their booth is ~2x larger than AMD's which can be seen on your link as they're on the same floor...Sure will.

Yes. Glad you get it now.because the trinity processor takes 1.3 seconds to do a complex spreadsheet calculation whereas the ib chip only requires 0.9 seconds, the intel is so much better? What kind of rubbish is that?
That's the nature of progress when it comes to the industry. The tricky part with "good enough" is knowingly paying for something that has been proven to be inferior in terms of raw performance.
To performance enthusiasts, that idea is maddening. We've all seen the numbers, Trinity is what it is; a chip with a strong, but mostly idle GPU and a CPU that can't really keep up with other similarly priced CPUs. Whether or not it applies to everyone, you can't deny that the current user experience in modern operating systems is primarily CPU bound, and until Trinity-esque architectures improve IPC or modern systems make use of heterogenous GPU conputing, it will be practically impossible to recommend something like this to a friend who wants the best by numbers, enthusiast or otherwise.
Can't agree with that. The gains from a beefier CPU for most common tasks are laughably low. I/O and GPU performance matters far more.
Where does GPU help in common tasks? Outside of poor quality video encoding?
Flash, HTML 5, Chrome and Firefox seem to have options for hardware acceleration, the whole window manager if you're using OSX or will be using Windows 8. Video encoding wouldn't be something I'd label common, though.
Microsoft Office seems to support hardware acceleration too. No idea how much of an impact it makes though.
I know it is hard for you to swallow the fact that Intel is second best in iGPU but be a man and acknowledge it
We will deal with Haswells iGPU next year, now Trinity is faster than HD4000.
And the MMA-midget fights goes on....funny.
Gaming on IGP's makes no sense...not even when they are rebranded from IGP to APU...
Being smug about running games at higher graphical settings is pretty baffling
Ha, even Diablo 3 is too demanding for Trinity:

Being smug about running games at higher graphical settings is pretty baffling
"For a smoother experience, though, you’ll still want 30 FPS or more, and that’s where the HD 6630M and Trinity’s HD 7660G fall, with Trinity averaging just slightly better performance despite one large dip to the low 20s." - Page 4
Looks like that review basically states Trinity and D3 are good to go? Humble settings, sure, but rewind even two years and gaming on laptops just wasn't even possible without getting out the credit card for something with a real video card, not just the 9400M, etc.
From the article.Update: As noted earlier, many are saying the later stages and higher difficulty levels can really start to drop frame rates. Take the following graphs as a reference point, and plan on dropping some detail settings and/or resolution later in the game on lower end hardware.
The problem is that even Diablo 3 puts Trinity to the limit. There is no room for a more demanding scene, no room for a patch/addon which will improve the graphics in the future.
The GTX650m is twice as fast. Even a GT640m should be around 6x%. If somebody wants really to play Diablo 3 he needs a discrete GPU.
