GX60 CPU is very preppy compare with Intel, it will bottleneck the 7970M GPU and get low fps when playing with high/ultra high resolution in certain games.
Err let me put it this way instead.
You will get same low/comparable fps like gtx680m/675m with Intel CPU when playing high/ultra at full HD. Because at the highest setting and resolution, bottleneck will be on the GPU and irregardless of CPU (in most games). In this case, both AMD and Intel proc are bottleneck by the GPU
However at lower reso or setting, GX60 will fall behind equivalent gpu with a Intel cpu, by a noticeable to large margin. This is the CPU bottleneck. However in this condition, the frame rates is still playable (as setting alrd lowered) so for some its not really an issue
Also other CPU intensive games like SC2 or mayb BF3 or GW2, no matter what setting GX60 will fall behind Intel.
Other things i noticed about is the AMD cpu load quite slowly, alth during gaming the fps is roughly the same (eg. Dota2 games usually im the last to load in)
