Hopefully Carrizo will bring bigger CPU performance gains.....

Not sure what your expectations are from an APU.
But for a low-budget low-powered gaming rig that can actually play games, AMD's APUs are still the only way to go.

Intel produces mostly APU's for their consumer processor lines. Celeron, Pentium, i3, i5 and mainstream i7 processors are all technically APU's. Being an APU really isn't an excuse for not pushing CPU performance forward.

Maybe, but I would sacrifice a little CPU performance for a better iGPU in budget builds any day.
iGPUs are stressed to the max in almost any game on modern screens while most daily tasks don't push the CPU to its limits.
BLEH!
Kaveri is quite a bit faster clock-for-clock than the previous ones.
Exactly. AMD's IGPs utterly annihilate Intel
I think intel have gotten quite complacent really.
With regards to the PCIe lanes, that is odd, unless some are going to be wired to the new PCH on chip, though IIRC you still get some off the SB anyway.

While DDR4 is a must-have for APUs (not really important for CPUs), what AMD desperately needs to do is triple or quad channel memory.

just moving to ddr4 should be a nice bump in performance. The cpus on these arent the limiting factor in most cases the gpu will crack first.

I'm looking forward to the future of this, which is a massively powerful CPU and GPU on a single die, with shared high speed memory. Essentially right now a graphics card is a separate computer, I doubt that in the future that will be the case. Perhaps there will be two replaceable processors on the mainboard, cpu and gpu. That would be cool.

Do I miss something? Cant see any ddr4 support on slide?
edit: anyway, good to see AMD APU progressing.

the memory probably won't go on sale until likely simultaneously when motherboards support it or shortly before, no point in making memory that nothing can use until it has been released

any word yet on ddr4 pricing? ive seen 20% more thrown around a couple times but ddr3 prices have been overinflated since the hynix fire.
