• Competitor rules

    Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.

It may sound really stupid

Youtube search "amd llano trailer" for a quick explanation.

High end HTPC, low end gamer I think. Personally I don't like the idea but I see some people in General Hardware are getting them so hopefully we shall see how the perform as a low end gaming machine soon.
 
It should have way better performance than all current integrated graphics, it's got 80 more stream processors than a 3870.
 
Come on, cost? You can get the apu, motherboard and ram for less than a 6970. It's not trying to compete with high end.
 
Its a similar price to the 1055t tho, i didnt know if it was attempting to compete on cpu assisted graphics :o or general gaming
 
There are no ads on the video meaning it does not make the competitor any money and no direct links to the competitors site from that page. I think it's OK? :/

but it clearly said the competitors name in the top corner of the video when you press play ;)
 
Ah i see, as far as my main rig is concerned (red/orange colour in sig), is it worth swapping my 1055T @ 4.5 for one?

Don't swap your 1055T for a Llano. Their overall performance is not that good.

Here is a comparison of the Llano and a 1055T at stock:

And as you can imagine your 1055T being overclocked to 4.5GHz, you are going to notice a massive performance decrease if you buy a Llano.

Either I'm going blind and missed that, or you saw a different video.

Pretty sure it's a standard trailer shown by the manufacturer (this case AMD) to their retail customers, OCUK must have been sent one too?

@OP, stick with what you have, for now.

Another performance issue he would find trying to swap cpus is that llano won't fit in his motherboard ;)
