Any good reviews of retail AMD Brazos products?

Intel can not compete on cost. AMD designed bulldozer to be very cheap. Intel would have to sell their chips at a loss to compete with bulldozer. Atom can not compete because its GPU sucks. Even an overclocked atom won't match Bulldozer. Also, tablets are just a fad. Besides, ARM is going to dominate tablets.

No one is looking for something amazing. Just something that will play wow at lowest settings, maybe connect to the HD TV to watch HD movies. This GPU and CPU can handle that for a low price. Plus, it is portable. Girls can stick it in their purse and guys can put it in their backpacks.

Are you confusing Bulldozer (Valencia/Zambezi) with Bobcat (Zacate/Ontario)?

First of all, GF doesn't make bulldozer chips. Secondly, atom doesn't even compare to bulldozer. Bulldozer is competing with Intel CULV offerings. The performance of the CPU is comparable with the CULV. The performance of the GPU is better than the 4500MHD. With the AMD graphics, you get better drivers plus you can play games like cataclysm at acceptable framerates. What's the most mainstream game out right now? World of Warcraft. The AMD graphics can play World of Warcraft at acceptable framerates. That's all that matters.

Also, AMD can offer a lower price than CULV. It can offer around atom prices. Plus, Intel can only go so low on atom prices before the price of the chip doesn't matter on the laptop. What do you think consumers would rather buy? A slow 250 dollar atom netbook or a fast 300 dollar AMD netbook with similar battery life? Atom is dead. Live with it.

Not that it matters but have youbeen drinking , First of all The Link to switchblade Showed WOW . and it would seem both Razer and Intel are targeting WoW mainstream players . Out all the devices I have seen from ces 2011. Theswitchblade is one that I will by for my grandsons. A gaming device that does it all . In a hand held . I don't care what it cost. When its released later this year or early next year . I will buy 1 of these. Just because its so ding dang cool. On a 7" screen should be great gameplay.

These should transition into the new HKMG tech by the end of this year, being fabricated on 28nm HPL. So there shouldn't be any time spent on 32nm in between, according to the current plans. The microarchitecture is about as good as it gets in terms of the combination of TLP and clock cycle bound (which determines frequency) on TSMC's 40nm, with the given die area. They pretty much exactly met their goal when they set out the roadmap for these parts; although they are not quite so fortunate with Llano.

Yep. My mistake. 28nm should be very nice if they don't have any problems with fabrication/delays. AMD not being able to deliver their products on time is really hurting them.
