More evidence it was actually Bobcat(Ontario) running the AVP2 demo is the following line Bergman said: "Can you imagine getting this sort of performance on a Netbook this size?" .
We know Ontario is targeted @ the netbook segment. Easy riddle.
EDIT:
It's confirmed,it's Ontario!

Ryan Shrout from PCPer said in the article that he knows for sure the demo was done on Ontario silicon(and confirmed indirectly by what Bergman said about targeted netbook segment).
"Specifics were light, but I do know that the APU being shown was not the desktop variant built on 32nm technology but rather was the 40nm Ontario core built at TSMC and aimed at the Atom markets. AMD obviously feels they have a strong advantage in this market with the APU as they are putting focus on it rather than the Llano-based notebook and desktop parts that were originally billed to be the first Fusion parts available. If you were reading this hoping to get a hint of the clock speeds, die sizes or shader counts for Ontario you and I are both disappointed - AMD continues to hold that very close to the chest."
So if a 2way low power Bobcat core with ~80SPs and dual channel 1333Mhz IMC can do this,it's game over in APU department.SB better have some awesome/reworked IGP core inside.
