Lees CPU power and more GPU power.

Repeating the approach that has worked out so well for them in the past.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Also if they are 100% commited to APUs then they should have a brand new 14nm APU with Zen cores as soon as next year instead of another 28nm BD-derivative. Unless of course Zen is all about efficiency and not that much faster than the Excavator cores to justify using a more expensive node or it might not be ready to market as soon as this Briston Ridge APUs.

How is a 3.5 ghz 870k a refresh over a 3.7 ghz 860k if the architecture is the same. I'm at a complete loss.

Yes. CPU performance and performance/watt matters the most. Something APUs fail flat on.

But in games AMD s APUs have noticeably better perf/watt than Intel s, and better performance also..

You can check Aten Ra s review in another thread, or any review generaly.

People dont buy them for that. I thought the complete destruction of AMDs marketshare already proved that. So why is it still being used as an argument?
