ah, if that were the case the HD4000 can be on par with the A6 IGP, i dont know about the A8 tho.
PS: HD2000 is comparable to an GT210 or HD5450, i guess thats around A4's IGP.

the reason why the i3 tho would be because of comparisons with a quad core A8, the Pentium lacks performance as a CPU once heavy threads is used.

also the celeron is much more cost effective instead of the pentium, the performance lost is only around 15% in comparison to the 25% less cost.

Hmm, the one that should come with the A10 - the 7660G seems to be in between the 550m and the 555m. That's a long way away from the 4000.

Not the base model, no. But still, a damn long way away.

I put together a machine recently, it was a Core i7 2700k, 2x4GB=8GB Ballistix Sport, 180GB SSD.  Not quoting prices because I reused some stuff.

Using the onchip HD 3000 Sandybridge graphics, I found it to be about as a low end graphics accelerator (like a nVidia 8400GS), but MUCH faster than the Intel chipset graphics from years past.  The G965 I also have is so much slower... And even that blows away pretty much all the other Intel onboard graphics solutions I own.

I wish I waited till after the SSD price collapse... But it is still insanely fast... Need that SATA 6Gb to keep up.

Blows away my Core2 quad even without using the ssd.  And with it...

BTW I was comparing my Atom1.6+G945 with my Celeron 1.5+G915 in WoW... The Celeron was much faster with the older 915 and lower clock... I was surprised...
