A Long History With Tom's Hardware

We spotted these awards on the shelves at AMD. They're from almost a decade ago!

    GX60 has an A10-4600M and a 7970M? That's going to be an interesting combo. :)

    7970M and a 4600M will be VERY interesting. :S
    Hopefully in a good way considering the CPU is pretty damn weak.

    That Sapphire Mini APU computer looks SWEET. I could imagine something like w/ Kaveri. Would be an amazing portable gaming system.

    with the 7970m being the cheaper high end gpu of the two with power similar to a desktop maybe like 660, along with a a10-4600m which is probably similar to a dual core i-series but probably cheaper would probably make it a pretty good budget oriented high end laptop I would think. Its more or less moving the cost of a i7 cpu to fund the more important gpu for gaming purposes on a laptop. Depending on its price, It may be able to shove around alot of laptop recommendations.

    Far cry picture sure has a super realistic shoulder and head. The photographer got the right angle.
