These sound pretty nice for the casual gamer, improved battery life sounds nice too.

Its been a while since i checked but if dual graphics drivers have improved on these apus they could be kick a$$ even against any intel/dedicated graphics and AMD's solution would surely be cheaper.

DirectX 12 could bring something interesting to this. There's the capability for the workload to offloaded to any DirectX 12 device, based on the nature of the workload. It means you could offload workload onto an AMD APU from an Nvidia video card. If you have different tier levels of DirectX 12 in your system it doesn't matter, supposedly the stuff will be divvied up accordingly.
There was a suggestion a while ago that AMD were working on this also, I'm not sure what was meant by that. It could mean that even if developers don't enable it in the game etc that using an AMD APU and AMD graphics card can still do the job, or whether it is still reliant on the developer divvying, but extends its benefits when using an AMD APU and an AMD discrete GPU.
In any case, I hope people consider these as good budget options, instead of going for the lowest end i3's and Pentium's

It will still win in performance per watt in entire 12~35W scale.
Yes, intel has those 47W chips and can be paired with 50~100W dGPU, they destroy any APU (even desktop) in CPU performance, but they cost in notebook almost as much as entire APU notebook.
I think AMD can get nice bite out of intel's sales this year. Good enough to make mobile APUs profitable.
