    It was actually a genuine question.

    I know some places barely bother with AMD reviews, if at all, but I don't know much about the games i.e. are they ignored because of low popularity or something?

    Let's see, D3 passed 12 million sales in February. SC2 is probably at least that, given the second part is out now. And WoW has almost that many people paying each month.. so no I wouldn't say you could pin low popularity on any of them...

    But they are quite sucky games for benchmarking because they're designed to run on lower-end computers, and D3 and SC2 are class examples of deferred rendering and aiming for no more than 60fps.

    That would explain it.

    Like I said, I really don't know much about either of them, not really my cup of tea.

    Shouldn't that be in a Haswell chitchat?

    Sucky though, if I had paid that kind of money for a fancy laptop I wouldn't want second best tech in it, even if they had turned the clock down I would want the top end stuff.

    I think this thread, like the BD one before it, has become a good place for tangentially related tech tidbits without starting a new thread.

    Despite the name and price, Ultrabooks don't seem to be much about high-end hardware, rather a protected brand name for overpriced, thin, shiny.

    True, and having the word AMD at the start of the thread name probably scares away the fanboy riff-raff

    Seriously though, Intel have branded the graphics on their cpus and shiny has quite a high brand content to it. Intel are usually spot on with marketing, but if shinybooks don't have Intel's shiniest graphics brand I think they missed the mark here.

    It looks like Intel will charge even more for the K series Haswell CPUs:

    The normal ones will replace the preceding IB ones at the same price.

    AMD fires back against Nvidia about their PS4 statements:

    So even Nvidia are making the childish 'it's bad coz it doesn't have a £1000 GPU in it...' comments?

    shame that , i will keep my fingers crossed for kaveri using a new motherboard for ddr4/5 and maybe support for more cores?? If i there was a fm2 chip that gave performance of a fx 6300 i would be on it like a tramp on chips

    think you might be surprised already:

    http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-6300-...-AMD-A10-5800K


    edit:

    http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-6100-...-AMD-A10-5800K

    and the A10-5800K is better than an FX6100

    It will be DDR4 next, don't confuse with GDDR memory as it's a different technology.
