Amd's apu?

[jonnyrb]

Can anybody elaborate on these? are the cpu's awful in regards to that of a core i5 2500k? I'm puzzled by what it is that I'm really looking at, just some cpu with intergrated gpu on it?

An APU as a concept is absolutely fantastic, it will possibly remove the need for a GPU which in my mind is the most innefficient componant in a build, it runs hot, requires unnecessary system changes and has become the bane of rig building.

The day an APU comes out with high end fused GPU's will be revolutionary.
