no A8 yet?

like fusion... but 15"...

when can i get it ??

Any chance it will be on 11' or 12"?

Can someone summarize whats special about Llano? It has the same processing power as Intel SB quad but cheaper? is it? haha, i read about Llano but can't brain anything

price?

Got inside topic, RM1,899....

only 2k???
if crossfire should be better than 5750g right???

I heard Astria sifu said in one post that crossfire in upcoming Llano laptops can reach gtx460m level...but not sure lol

the Asynchronous crossfire allow the internal GPU to work together with discrete GPU.... the A8+AMD 6630 can potentially beat gtx460m in some game

all that GPU power for only RM2k???
no point for buying gaming laptop then unless you want more processing power...

this model only has A6(6430M)+6480G... but its give some indication on pricing for A8+6630M... ^^

lols... llano in short and sweet:

Use older architecture CPU, integrate it with a real dedicated GPU, to produce= APU

An all rounder!


Their concept is... an all rounder. is better than a screaming processor+a snaillish gpu.......

Which i agree.....



It wont's win intel and nvidia's dominance in upper priced markets... but it will win in budget lines... bout 2k prices..

think the brazos equiped netbooks.. cheap and powerfull.... intel+nvidia ion cost a few hundred bucks more...

also the turbo core... have to see is it wrkin... anybody can google-fu latest developements?? last i read(few weeks ago), turbocore still buggy.. crossfire still buggy...

if they make it right ! HOOOLLLAAAHHHH!!!

No, no sign of A8 Llano yet, at the moment only 1 model...

Actually in real world usage, a 2GHz and 3GHz processor would have very little impact on how fast you actually perceive the system being.

Now only waiting for Asus to come out with one of their own.

wow really? LOL

haha... but a 500mhz and a 2ghz gt big diff leh.. lolx

i downclock my speed to 500mhz.. and omg.... vista is a wreck! lolx.... i can see window trails!!!! for a few seconds!!! for fun.



if asus comes out wit a8 and a pro card in 3k range... i will

wow....

IF they nailed it right.., hopefully so..

if nt.. it wil perform even worse...
