Eh, there are more and more games being ported over to Linux. Right now there's only a few titles on steam that would warrant any significant graphics muscle at all, but this seems to be changing as a trend. It also opens up the door for dual-booting into Windows to take advantage of DirectX...

Relevant review comparing some Iris Pro CPUs with AMD A10-4600M All the mobile Iris Pro chips I know of are all 47W, which is spitting distance from the 35W AMD alternative: i7-4950HQ i7-4850HQ i7-4750HQ The benchmarks I saw in that review up above seem to indicate that Iris Pro 5200...

I think the reason that the new Intel chips have eRAM (I think it's called eRAM) is to circumvent the memory bottleneck you're referring to, and GDDR is used on graphics cards for similar graphics-specific high-bandwidth needs. Could AMD not use their own solution in this vein? They're the...

Is this a typo? I can only find information regarding A8-4500M and A10-4600M.

Thanks a bunch for the link! That thing is so crispy for an IGP... Can't wait to see mini-clients with one of those in it. If they put that thing in NUCs it'll dominate. I wonder if AMD has an ace in their sleeve still... Could be a good year for Intel...I really wish AMD could offer...

Those 5750m chips look like really nice low TDP APUs. I kinda recant what I said in praise about this box, I'd rather have a similar form-factor with killer integrated graphics. Usually I slant AMD for it's high TDP, but that's a really nice 35W chip. How do those stack up against Iris or...

What a little cutie...Mint is my favorite "out-of-the-box" distro currently, it's a great distro to cut your teeth on and doesn't have the spyware that Ubuntu does (even though it's forked from Ubuntu). Nice and small @1.216L volume, decent specs for regular use, USB port for DAC/AMP, Looks...
