I spy with my little eye, something with the new GCN architecture in it
I'm also curious to see how the new APUs perform.

AMD already has it in their YT channel. FX-8800p configured to 15W is quite better than intel i5-5200u and similar 15W/14nm chips from intel.
It is decision between playable/not playable for both games and video playback.
And then you have possibility to get additional boost on 35W setting.
I more wonder about them fitting 512SP with 4 CPU cores (or 2 modules if you want) into 15W TDP and performing well. Even at 35W and even if GPU took 25W from that, it is quite nice power consumption per 512SP. (would be 100W with 2048SP)

Well, I've been eyeing a laptop for some gaming here and one of these just may be what I'm looking for.

It looks like they absolutely kill the Intel competition for gaming. Of course that would be in a laptop without a dedicated GPU where AMD always has been better.

Very much an overshadowed release.
I believe these would be worthwhile for the intended market. It would be interesting to see the benchmarks of these versus the top end Skylake's, however such a comparison would only be beneficial out of interest. On a cost per performance scenario, I still see these as the clear winner especially when you include the platform components such as the motherboard and RAM (Skylake's DDR4 is still pretty expensive for any decent modules).
