Are these going to be superior to i7's then for general use?

Are these going to be superior to i7's then for general use?
Supposedly,these are some screenshots of the A6 and A8 processors:

These are supposedly benchmarks of Llano done by OCW:

It looks like another website has used the same source:

It is funny how Cray has just announced the XK6 which uses Interlagos.
I dont see intel ever catching up to AMD on the embedded graphics front, still very eager to see the real results on the CPU front. Performance per watt.
Supposedly,Bulldozer is having issues with hitting its required clockspeeds. Toms Hardware said it was B0 silicon which is very early and that motherboard companies had them.
However,Anandtech and xbitlabs are now saying B0 and B1 silicon has issues. It could be true but OTH they don't state their sources(very easy to add B1 to the mix just to make the article sound better and it sounds like they have the same source). The timing from this source is also interesting as Intel recently announced that they were delaying their 22NM CPUs. It could be coincidence but now a lot of people will have forgotten about it as the AMD story will take presidence.
Anyway,in the next few weeks we will find out whether these unnamed sources are true. They could be but it would be funny if AMD pulled a fast one like they did with the HD5000 and HD6000 series. Hardly anyone had a clue about them before they launched.
However,it could also be a Fermi too(performs well but consumes more power and is late)!
The fact that Cray has announced that the XK6 will use Interlagos means that things are probably not as bad as these tech sites are making them out to be(hopefully).
Another thing. Most of the BD processors are 95W it seems. If BD has issues they could have launched it at 125W and 140W so they could hit higher clockspeeds.
The Phenom and Phenom II processors launched at 125W and had 140W higher clocked versions.
Intel license their embedded graphics in the atom.
September... ffs. Hope i can keep myself contained
