Can't wait to see what zen arch and ddr4 will do in these apu's still rocking a 5800k in my spare computer I just hope they open the top limit to allow for some real overclocking.

Why are the first two graphs on dGPU benches so blurry, thought my

Not so bad, i'm just disappointed that they're not using the much needed excavator architecture for better IPC. Why did amd even make excavator if they won't use it anywhere!

I believe that an Athlon X4 on FM2+ is going to use excavator.

At least its cheap. Great article, really is an eye-opener to the whole cpu situation. £900 for a i7 5960x, though, wow!
