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.

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.

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.

Be nice to get one of these in Socket AM1... :P

Not needed, they will sell mobos with carrizo bga-ed on them same as intel does with some.

up-to eight GCN 1.3 based graphics cores
That should read GCN 1.2 based cores (3rd gen).

But when is it coming to shops? Are the OEMs even going to offer it, or are they still under the "preference agreement"?
