A guy named soothepain at Coolaler.com published benchmarks & screenshots of AMD LIano A8-3800 APU Default clock 2.4GHz, Boost available at 2.7GHz. For Those of you who want to read in English go to this site. Source
For what is essentially a quad-core cellphone processor, I think it does pretty well. It's not supposed to blow the doors off, it's supposed to be efficient. You know, for laptops.
Lol exactly, within its intended market positioning I think it has quite a bit of potential. Comparing to SB isn't really fair I think.
It does absolutely trounce the Intel HD 3000 found in SB though. Perhaps this will make for a decent low-budget gaming laptop?
Takes twice as long to do a 1M digit Pi calculation compared to my 1.73ghz C2D laptop. Gaming performance was surprisingly good though! Just need info about temps and power consumption now.
Wasn't there something about the engineering samples of AMD's new chips out there having disabled caches and other such oddities that would render early benchmarks entirely pointless or was that only for Bulldozer? I'll take it with a pinch of salt and live in hope that the performance of the end product will be better.
Llano isn't designed for cell phones. It is designed for the mainstream desktop & laptop market. It is basically a tweaked Phenom II (dual or Quad core) with lower base clocks, addition of turbo and integrated graphics (160SP dual core and 400SP Quad core). TDP is meant to be around 45-65w depending on model (possibly lower on mobile variants).
