    I'm wondering how much more powerful if at all it will be than the current dual cores. Since its gonna have a gpu on the chip at 45nm and then have the dual core cpu at 32nm i'm just wondering if adding that gpu on to it is gonna hinder that max performance they could get out of the chip if it was just an all 32nm dual core cpu. I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to be slower than the current x9100 and t9900 cause that added gpu is gonna force the clocks of it to be lower since it has all that crap on it. What do you guys think. Do you think the new arrandales will be able to beat an x9100 overclocked to 3.8ghz or so?

    Arrandale is not going to have the GPU on the same chip. It is going to have both the GPU and the CPU (seperate chips) on the same socket.

    AMD is trying to have the CPU+GPU on the same chip with Fusion but that is a couple of years away.
