From the specs and rumored performance this thing looks like low end integrated replacement material. The last time I heard performance expectations they were talking 6800 series level of performance. Which is much better than the integrated garbage they ship today. But 3 generations behind Nvidia right now, possibly 4 by the time it actually shows up.

Good to see integrated is getting a boost. I feel very bad for AMD. They're toast; integrated graphics is something they've really had the upper end on.
