I wonder how it performs :-P
Off hand I can remember reading something about performance. Overall, there is some, but not much of an increase over Ivy clock for clock, but where it does pick up a good bit is the graphics. This chip was intended to be geared towards power usage (ie mobile platforms) while still maintaining very good desktop performance. To me, being a desktop enthusiast, the graphics core is really not even on my radar. I have never used, and probably will never use a desktop CPU's integrated GPU even if I were to build a HTPC due to there being soo many super inexpensive, silent/near silent discrete GPUs that will had any graphic chip like this its a$$. I REALLY wish Intel (and AMD for that matter) would release an "old school" CPU. Just give me a 4, 6 or 8 core, 5gHz+ Haswell WITH NO GPU. I'll let Nvidia handle my graphics, thank you very much!
