    Whats the need for Intergrated Graphics again?

    These statements assume the APU's advancement will be slow or poor Assuming AMD can greatly improve their APU's every new generation, I don't think they would make it too powerful that it would compete with their own mid-range GPU line-up (HD x8xx series). But I think it is possible that they...

    A new look at game benchmarking

    Is there any possibility that AnandTech will adopt frame time benchmarking for GPU's and games ? Tech Report's article about frame time benchmarking was published last September 2011. I'm wondering why most review sites still stick with using frame rates only

    Whats the need for Intergrated Graphics again?

    The video might look not very smooth. I don't know if it's a problem with Bandicam The actual gameplay (without video recording) is very smooth.
