the test was compared across mulitple platforms, and only SB had losses in the game when cinebench was using up more cores

i honestly woulnt call this bad at all considering its trying to manage the TD of 2 components with the same heatsink, this is actually how almost every laptop will work in the near future when fusion based cpus are most of the market (not saying AMD fusion, just all cpu+gpu packages in laptops)

it will require testing to be much more detailed in how the results were obtained instead of just reading the FPS and calling it a day. i hope this means we will see really nice utilities from both AMD and Intel for showing us the turbo speeds and TDP usage for each part of the package during gameplay. when everything is perfect hopefully in the next 10 years, the cpu and gpu will both be running at 100% load in gaming, because the cpu will be downclocked until its maxed out, and the gpu overclocked, with per frame balancing to maintain the 100% load on both parts of the chip.


what this does mean though is that you probably do not want to have your cpu encoding in the background while you play warcraft if your using SBs integrated GPU
