Uhm...
So its gonna be much slower than an i3 6100 accept in graphics apps. Looking across the chart, its faster in the same cases apps that the 7650 is faster in. The 3d mark seems to show a jump but the others are really such a small improvement over their current A8.
Its even slower in the last case.
I dont want to be terribly negative, the power improvement compared to their own A8 should be noted. But, its intel chips they must compete with. And, this is amd....so I can only expect these to be the best of the best cases. Thats really what I am battling with here. And their tdp figuring, its not something I trust. Not this day and age. They have been exaggerating and misrepresenting and its been increasingly worse. Unrealistically so.
Honestly, the situation doesn't seem all that great. Amd has been loud when they dont have all that much to be singing over. They typically flaunt and brag like there is no tomorrow. They were making all kinds of claims and press about Zen the further you look back and then the chip is pushed out and out..things got much quieter.
I mean, obviously they have improved the ipc if we look at these graphs. I just wonder though, isnt their current A8 a 32nm chip? Would you expect a dramatic improvement for a chip that is 14nm? Especially when these are moderate chips.. Intel gained and gained in the moderate and low tdp areas.
I hate to be a drag..but....
