How likely will Zen become successful? No one knows. But since we know everything let's just say this.

"Zen just be Another Major Disappoinment or for the fun of it Another Misguided Discussion, ANYTHING MORE DISGUSTING or maybe Zen ends up being an Anal Molesting Devices"

Shook my head on that.

We can game on a 8350 as well, we want to see raw CPU power here.

What nobody seems to realise is that the demonstration is supposed to convince people of the possibility of gaming on the ZEN igpu is good enough for "esports" enthusiasts and casual gamers, thus saving you from buying a separate graphic card. This will also benefit HTPC builders and probably laptop gaming down the line.

Zen won't do anything for people that are already planing to buy a sepate gpu (i.e: most people reading this forum).

I don't think the CPU part of the APU will be any better than the current intel offering for gaming, unless there is some sort of price-perf advantage.
