@JPQY: nobody is denying that SB has a higher IPC than Llano (= K10.5+) and in this test the SB CPU is even running at much higher clk speeds than the Llano APU. so yes, the SB sys has alot more CPU power than the Llano sys shown here.
but here´s what AMD tries to proof: for most mainstream users, and by that i mean surfing the web, watching videos, listen to music, work on a few pics and do office, the Llano notebook APU does a better job than a SB i7-2600 desktop CPU+GPU combo. just because Llano has enough CPU power for most tasks, while the SB lacks enough GPU power.
and im quiet shure that a quad-core K10.5+ Llano can handel your chess game too.
