That actually was a bit interesting.
I think people are under estimating these new APU's. Yeah, it's not like they have amazing performance scores, but even according to the video, the performance of the A8 is right up there with the 1100T. The reason I think that's cool is because the A-series isn't even their power house processors yet. These are budget hardware. This makes me feel that zambezi will definitely give sandy bridge a run for their money.

At the very least if they perform as well as sandy bridge, I'll be happy. Cause I know bull dozer will be a lot cheaper, and there isn't a game the i5 can't handle without a proper GPU, so just like when the first gen of the core CPU's came out, if you want good performance on a budget, AMD has you covered.

The i5 can play BLOPS and other games fine at lower resolutions. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/01/03/intel-sandy-bridge-review/10
