    Although this is specifically designed for Casino/Arcade/etc, wouldn't a performance boost like this carry over to the IGP soon thereafter?

    Could we be seeing a jump from the AMD 3200, 3400, 4300, etc to some level of magnitude higher?

    Although this iteration will likely not see itself soldered in any laptops or netbooks, doesn't it stand to reason that if they can do it in one segment they can do it in another? Or would the heat output of this be the main problem...
