I think the main problem is that high end technology now... can be used as low end tech later.

The custom low end will be AMD's due to their willingness to cut to nothing... other then that they'll still have a big fight on their hands.

The difference is that the APU suffices for both cpu and gpu, whereas someone buying an old high tech intel will still have to work out money for a gpu, meaning it will never be able to match value

Wait... as somebody who is planning to put it in their computer they already have?  That's all i can get from your saying buying an old high tech intel.

Nobody is going to buy an APU for that...

Chances are if your looking to upgrade your computer... your prebuilt CPU will be fine ESPEICALLY if we're talking a bargain upgrade.  You'd just be paying more for a CPU that doesn't offer an upgrade/might even be basically the same cpu.

APU's in desktops will pretty much just be for prebuilt only.

 

As for the new AMD APU's that will eventually come out being better then the current itel integrated graphicss...

Well yeah.  Your talking future product vs current product.  I'd hold my horses on speculation until you see what else Intel has in regards to if Intel has anything extra planned for the Iris line...

 

and well, since Apu's are meant for prebuilts... if companies will make use of AMD Apu's outside of Laptops, and other "harder" to modify hardware.
