The cinebench score can't be right, my A10 6790K scores 311 at stock...
A time ago, we've also seen an A10 7850K overclocked to 4.9GHz scoring 548 cb. My 6790K scores at 5Ghz 385 cb. calculating with this picture, the A10 7850K should score 410-430 cb at 4.9GHz... I'd rather think that the A10 7850K should score around 390-400 points at stock.

impressive performance level

So it is still about 1/2 the performance per core of the i7 3930K which came out in November, 2011? I really hope Mantle gives them an edge SOMEWHERE... I like competition but AMD sure isn't bringing it of late...

I think it will happen eventually, Im betting on Steamroller refresh with higher TPU or with Excavator

Is this something that's going to compete? Or is it just a low power thing for average PC's?

I don't really think making comparisons on power use is really fair because u have to factor in the igpu which destroys any i7 igpu. Also I think I read these are supposed to be 28nm and still cheaper then intels comparable cpu.

Looking at this it's still a 15% performance increase in single threaded applications over Richland

To give you guys a metric to this performance, i just run cinebench on my laptop(ivy bridge, i3, 2,4ghz, hyperthreading)
Total score 204, single threaded 82, mp scaling 2,5x
