Re: Their latest hardware is damn good, pity there are so few models.
How would you say the A12 compares to the older APUs?
Performance-wize it beats the living daylights out of old laptop models - both E and laptop A series. Tested with development - both C and Java.
Its power consumption is still not as good as Intel. Some of it can be attributed to the incomplete support for the GPU power-management in Debian stable, but some of it is for real. The equivalent i5 with the same battery (both HP 15 inch) supposedly lasts longer. Not that I care - it is a desktop replacement, if it will travel somewhere it will be where there are sockets for it.
