Look good for net-tops, POS units, that kinda thing.

This time I am not sure what AMD meant by this stunt.
- new features: NO
- smaller than miniITX: NO
- HSA CPU available: Not Yet
- Better feature set than intel solution: YES
- smaller than notebook of equivalent power: NO
- more versatile than notebook of same power: NO
I believe it would be smarter to bring kaveri HSA to notebooks instead jaguar to to desktops.
I am actually waiting for AMD to make either 13" (or smaller) HSA notebook or beema tablet/convertible netbook (optimally with thicker keyboard hosting additional battery like HP slatebook x2).

This just begs for the "Build your own XBOX ONE or PS4".

Being an AMD fan, I just want to refute your nothing to compete with Intel. The 8350 processor is on average $100 cheaper than the 3770/4770k Intel processors, while delivering equal performance on modern multithreaded games, including Battlefield 4.

That is unbelievably competitive dude, you pay $100 more for 1-2 fps? For video work, it beats the 4770k in some cases, and that's ignoring the fact that you can overclock it on average 600-800mhz. Try being a bit more objective please.
Also, this new line of processors will definitely appeal to those of the PC base who want a cheap PS4 or Xbone with the benefits of a good OS. We can expect that ports of "next gen" console games will be optimized for lots of threads vs. single core power. These should perform well enough.

All valid points, I'm going Intel cpu next build. There are people who mainly play Battlefield 4, and they go for AMD cpu's in order to invest more on a graphics card, which is reasonable.

Are AMD deliberately trying to confuse people? The AM1 designation is terrible. What's next..... Athlon 1?
BLEH!
Just seen fairly comprehensive reviews of these in a few places. You going to be running one too Hilbert?
