Check out AMD's Fusion APU "Llano" pitted against an Intel Core I7-2630QM 2GHz processor in this multi-tasking demo.

Translation: Intel integrated graphics still suck.
Put an Nvidia graphics card in the Intel machine, and lets see if it's the same results?

If this is any indication of what Bulldozer will bring I think AMD will finally be back int he races. I'm awaiting an upgrade right now, and I want to see some benchmarks from sites liek this one, Tomshardware, Anandtech and Xtremesystems.
Llano is still months away from any retail availability right? Last I remember reading was maybe late summer.
Early summer.
maybe we'll see it in may and bulldozer in june, hopefully.
Translation: lets add 40 watts to the system!
I absolutely love that they believe you are doing those tasks all at the same time. Watching a video, playing an MMO, rendering 3D models and working in a heavy loaded excell sheet. And all on a non-producton-like machine. I know, lets find something AMD doesnt do that someone else does (say VIA) and trumpet that AMD are fails.

The [H]ard way is to maximize the performance regardless of power and noise.
AMD's low power units will be great for laptops and the like, but for us power users in here, whatever performs the best - not with integrated graphics, but with a dedicated standalone video card will win.
Translation: lets add 150+ watts to the system!
FTFY.
No GPU from NVDA worth a salt from the past two years is only going to use 40 watts.

it sucks you can't have the best of both.
amd sucks in cpu power. intel sucks in graphics power.
I have six PCs at my house and my summer utility bill hits $500 easy. Yeah power efficiency is decently important to me.
Bottom line, it's not an apples to apples comparison. Of course the system with dedicated graphics does better in graphics tests, or am I the only one who noticed this?

Benchmark an x264 Blu-Ray encode from a lossless 1080p source, and tell me which one takes less time. Then I'll be impressed.
Why did the AMD 3d car model not have any texture on the outside and the intel one seemed to have at leas flames?
I suggest you read up on what Fusion actually is. You also didn't read the spec sheets of the 2 laptops used that was at the end of the video. No dedicated cards listed.
Dedicated graphics = a separate graphics card inserted into an expansion slot.
Integrated graphics = graphics integrated into another piece of the system, already onboard. Always less performance than a dedicated graphics card.
BOTH of these systems use integrated graphics. Both of the integrated graphics are integrated on the CPU die itself (Intel Core i7QM versus AMD Llano Fusion).
Yeah. Because that's what everyone does.
The point here is that their cheap, low power integrated solution can crunch every day numbers, do decent GPU duties as well as video and not fall over like a wal-mart hambeast running for the last electric scooter at the door.
