Dual Llano graphics has become one of PC Perspective’s most recommended ways of getting yourself a laptop capable of decent gaming performance without spending a lot of money. It is not as well known as a desktop solution, which X-Bit Labs intends to explore in their latest review. They’ve taken the high end A8-3870K, overclocked it and paired it with an HD 6670 and then compared it to two similar systems, one using a Intel Pentium G850 and one with a Core i3-2120. The results of their testing just might surprise you.
"Today we are going to compare the performance of Socket FM1 and LGA 1155 systems. Will a hybrid Llano processor be able to beat the entry-level Intel CPU paired with an entry-level graphics accelerator? How efficient AMD Dual Graphics technology is? Does overclocking make Socket FM1 systems more attractive?"

AMDs bang for the buck is great.
I would like to see this
I would like to see this article again after Trinity is released. I would also like to see a nvidia entry level gpu thrown in just as a benchmarking comparison. Still a great read though. Thanks for the heads up Jeremy.
