MojoKid writes "AMD lifted the veil on their new Trinity A-Series mobile processor architecture today. Trinity has been reported as offering much-needed CPU performance enhancements in IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) but also more of AMD's strength in gaming and multimedia horsepower, with an enhanced second generation integrated Radeon HD graphics engine. AMD's A10-4600M quad-core chip is comprised of 1.3B transistors with a CPU base core clock of 2.3GHz and Turbo Core speeds of up to 3.2GHz. The on-board Radeon HD 7660G graphics core is comprised of 384 Radeon Stream Processor cores clocked at 497MHz base and 686Mhz Turbo. In the benchmarks, AMD's new Trinity A10 chip outpaces Intel's Ivy Bridge for gaming but can't hold a candle to it for standard compute workloads or video transcoding."

They should do that the other way round.

And they are, as long as you understand that they are not trying to compete at the level of a core i7. If you need that kind of x86 performance you have one choice, Intel, and you will pay their premium tier pricing to get it... AMD stumbled with the release of the FX series, hopefully as they move forward they will remain competitive.

Appreciating competition is not mutually exclusive with being critical of the competitions quality.
