No wait, skratch that, doesn't work, since I actualy do consider Llano, due to limited budget. Since my interest is OpenCL and how to take advantage of Fusion, what better choice would there be for me? OC is of course always an option, but it forces you to get a proper sized case and cooler. A lone Llano with no descrete GPU would like odd in a Raven case, wouldn't it?
so i will meet you then next week?

here is also some more information

look at the specs from the A8-3800 and A8-3850 they have a rated TDP of 65W and 100W with only a difference of 200MHZ, clearly that must mean something.... also the tests from Radeon showed already a lot of OC potentional.

besides that, look at the vantage cpu score from Radeon stock it provides 10038 CPU while a athlon x4 630 only has approx 9300 @ 2.8, so this more or less equals phenom 940 3.0 the one with L3 cache.
Athlon x4 630 = 95W TDP on 45nm and the graphics 5550 (more or less) is a 40W TDP.... not that bad for the first revision on 32nm and actually if you look at the A8-3800 with the 2.4/2.7 and 6550D in a 65W that seems to be really nice for a first release which will go against the i3 2120.
