EDIT to add:
Just thinking about it, I'm currently running an A10 4600m laptop as my main computer at home. That's 4 Trinity cores @ 2.3GHz - 3.2GHz and 384 VLIW4 shaders at 685MHz. I reckon an SMT-enabled Zen dual core with 256 Polaris shaders running at 800MHz+ would probably give similar, if not better, performance, and this laptop already has plenty of performance for the vast majority of people.
