[citation][nom]jimmysmitty[/nom]On the graphics front, it will probably easily beat SB. While HD3K is decent, its not the same as a discrete GPU.But in CPU power, I don't think it will keep up with SB.Each will have their strong and weak points. Sounds like a good mix and match.SB for CPU power and overclocking, Llano for cheaper low end gaming.[/citation]
Llano is very useful for notebook gamers. It's not the lack of CPU that stop them gaming it's the lack of GPU. Plus GPUs are pretty useful anyhow in applications like Photoshop.
[citation][nom]sinfulpotato[/nom]It applications that can take advantage of the GPU for processing power Llano could cream SB in applications like Photoshop.[/citation]
Llano won't cream Sandy Bridge in Photoshop, Sandy Bridge will cream Llano in all but high resolution 3d modelling in Photoshop. Photoshop is still dependant on CPU, with the GPU playing a smaller role. The GPU only accelerates a few functions in Photoshop such as 3d.
