And honestly, where did your "7850M" comment come from? Im really interested.

The APUs use low-cost low-power GPUs and CPUs. The low-cost low-power GPU is the "M" or "D" classes AMD uses. It seems obvious that the GPU will relate far more to a mobile class GPU than the desktop. If its just downclocking, then so be it. However, from the details it looks like it loses other things like CUs and so forth.
As for the above specific quote, this is why my comparison thread has "HD7XXXM" as the GPU type. Which specific model, I haven't labelled as I dont' know and AMD/Sony haven't stated specifically. If I've ever put the rest of the digits, its usually in a quote from someone else. However, based on many, I think the HD78XXM is probably closer distinction.
My point with calling it a mobile GPU is just that. Its a low-cost low-power GPU which is by definition, the mobile series.
