For amds fusion lineup on the other hand everyone had gone nuts about the APU starting back then with the AVP demo. Yet the first numbers we got where released just now and without the screwup on the side of amd we wouldn't even had any B:AA numbers.

Anyway thats not my main point, what I meant with 780G hype was that people only focused on the "superb" IGP performance, but basically that changed nothing on the adoption, despite having 2x or even 3x the performance of a G35 back then.

Gaming gets way to hyped, epsecial for the intented platform.

Imho the most important factor: Power Consumption, Video(HD) acceleration, Webacceleration in that order. Gaming is nice to have but absolutely not neccecary.
