I can see why AMD is targetting Intel + GT630 for Kaveri marketing Intel has really shrunk the IGPU gap.
 
Several sites that covered this review pointed out IGP setup errors for systems and author changed conclusion!
"Since then, I have retested IGP performance on both A10 APUs, and both reviews reflect the new results. This changed our conclusions quite a bit (and even the subheading of our Core i3 4340 review had to be changed) as these APUs performed quite a bit better than the Core i3 4340. While Intel seems to be quickly catching up, and for once can deliver somewhat playable framerates in many games, they aren’t there quite yet. Also, AMD’s recent focus on frame pacing in their drivers has led to much more consistent frame times. If Intel are going to become a viable option for gaming in the future, they are definitely going to have to address this."

Not too shabby for a dual core. I just got a 35W 4130T for my wife's new passively cooled thin-ITX system. But she only plays Facebook games, so I don't think any shortcomings of the IGP will be evident.
