Watch the show.At AMD's invitation (and expense), we examined their claim to be offering a 'Performance Platform Advantage' - especially in areas like integrated chipsets where the addition of sensible graphics processors and HDMI output as standard seems to be pushing the market in a positive direction.
EQS scored very highly with their AMD 690G mainboard recently (http://www.hexus.net/content/item.ph...=10&search=eqs) and this is now available for around £46 inc vat on the web
Given that this spec includes the HDMI/HDCP technology that you need to run BluRay/HD-DVD - they are definitely aiming to give users an advantage in the performance of entry-level/SFF platforms...
...and, as James Thorburn recently pointed out (http://www.hexus.net/content/item.ph...4&search=barce) AMD do seem bullish about the real-world performance of Barcelona...
...so it will be interesting to see what James Smith makes of it all when he disects the new technology in the HEXUS.lab
Competition is a good thing - and we all like choice - right ?

I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.

Very good video. Interesting indeed.
Sounds like they have decent stuff to bring at the end of the year.
Sound went a bit strange though when it went to the far out camera with the view of the three of them when Nick was asking a question.
There is like a buzzing noise and it goes quiet and he sounds strange.

What an oaf! How to insult your host and look like an ar5e.
That aside it was interesting to hear about AMD's direction.
Glad you liked it!Originally Posted by McEwin
We will be speaking with the AMD guys on a regular basis to get a handle on how, exactly, Christmas will pan out - should be very exciting !
Sure that's not just 'normal Nick' ?
Will look into it for next time - thanks for raising it !
