Let me tell you that both CPU & GPU performance of Llano is not impressive. CPU performance is almost identical to Athlon II. While GPU performance is slightly faster than intel HD3000. We are talking about Llano with 400 shaders.
Did you also read the ECS thing on the front page? 33% overclock on their mobos? Looks like AMD are just going to let the OEM's decide what to do with the TDP headroom instead.

As for "slightly faster" than HD3000? What benchmarks have you been looking at lol. It's massively faster in everything except Anands pet Dragon Age Origins at laughably low settings. Oh btw, it does that while sucking half the juice.



In perf/watt terms Llano is about 3.5 to 4x that of HD3000. It's a massacre.
