Thats a not precise statement.They could mean overall performance, like combining cpu + igp performance.If they would get similar to core performance, it would mean that one bobcat core is pretty much equivalent to a athlon II core, which really is a stretch.We could hope, but in reality it is meant to bury atom, not core.We could bring AMD to make a statement about the performance: the Zacate APU should be appreciably faster than an Intel Core-based Pentium dual core, but no comparison was given to the coming Intel Sandy Bridge, as AMD has Llano, their second APU ready for that.
I hope im wrong tho, it would be fantastic.
And again, we know that liano on the cpu side, will be weak compared to sandy bridge, however, if you take into consideration overall gpu + cpu performance it makes sense as a competitor.
If bobcat core would be so powerfull, liano wouldnt make much sense, it would be better off with 4 bobcat cores(similar performance,lower size).
