Can anyone provide benchmarks of say a Llano APU vs the actual GPU it's said to have (AMD Radeon HD 6550D etc) ?
What would the price difference be if going with say, an decent i3 + a comparable GFX card?
APUs are nice and awesome since they are CPU and GPU in one, but how much more would it really cost for a comparable Intel (or AMD) CPU and buying a GPU on top of that?
I know though that the point of a HTPC is normally to just do all it needs to do (3D BluRay maximum) with the cheapest parts you can. I just want to get an idea of how things compare.
