I did too, and almost bought a 7770 for this review, but alas, it's 6670 only. 6570 with A8 chips now.

Why is an intel mobile chip included in the power test?

Why is the A10-5800 (with DG) included with no comparison with a 3850 (with DG)?

In some cases, the 3850 with DG is there but not the A10 with DGL...

The Intel mobile chip has what some would consider twice the GPU power(7850m = 7770), plus four threads of IVB goodness. It's power consumption is quite similar to the APUs, for the full system too, but the desktop version of these same chips, i5 3220 and 7770, cost a fair bit more than the APU.

And in some workloads, the APUs beat it out. Just a reference number. It's truly just as out of place as the 3770K is, but I only have so many parts on hand to test with, so there it goes.

The desktop that uses those parts(yes, a desktop), will be reviewed in coming weeks as well!
If you'd liek other testing, I'm always open to taking donations for hardware purchases.

I put the real conclusion first, hence the "Rambling".

I am quite interested in these chips myself, but am not sure how OC'ing with them will be. That 35 Watts less power would be perfect to me, if you can still clock the iGPU.
