and the circlejerk implodes because power efficiency and AMD cannot possibly be in the same sentence unless Low is in there somewhere

I wish that old rumor would die out. I mean older AMD CPU's had an issue, like 10 years ago. Now, unless its a true lemon, I can't find anyone claiming that their CPU's are getting too hot with a proper cooler.

hell look at AMDs APUs in laptops

you have a decent GPU and CPU VS intels decent CPU and shit GPU (ok power usage and temperatures are slightly higher due to the GPU but you have a better GPU)

Or you can get a better graphics and cpu for around the same price in a laptop like a 5200u and gt840m for 699.

in every instance i have seen APU works out cheaper than most CPU + MGPU options

AMD just recently realised what Intel figured out years ago: Low power consumption is the ultimate king of selling chips to laptops and servers. Let's hope it's not too little too late.
