Looks like I'm getting an Ivy Bridge
I was hoping to wait 1 more generation, but my desktop just blew up last night so Ivy Bridge it is.
With a discrete GPU.

I think it's perfectly possible. Brazos only wins over GMA3150 when using Catalyst.
As for MPEG2 performance, it's still not all that relevant since my decade old Pentium4 can handle it. Just rip your DVDs already, the optical drive is eating more of your battery on the current crop of low end CPUs.

50% slower ok... 70% slower maybe ok 80% slower OMG.... but 90+% slower? LOL HELL?--
whats going wrong in the radeon driver team ?

Also, perhaps I missed it, but, why wasn't the Llano temperature shown? EDIT: Just realized this is probably due to the lack of driver support.

I think you're seriously underestimating how much Gen3 graphics suck. I should know, I have a GMA950 in my netbook . I'm definitely looking forward to ValleyView.
Also, you can clock the Brazos GPU up when using the open radeon driver, can you not? That's the big issue in this test, Michael didn't clock up the Llano GPU.

This ^
If I were buying a laptop right now, I'd go with Intel. Strictly because of the better driver situation.

mpeg2 is not accellerated with xvba, h264 l5.1 is also not possible with xvba. if you select other testfiles xvba should work. in theory there is a h264 encoder you can use via (intel) vaapi es well but i don't know if there is an app using is yet (besides the test tools from libva).
