They had no problem shooting down all the past rumors, so why stay silent about this one. Also, I can buy a laptop with apu + dgpu for $500. I know the rumor claims some crazy powerful dgpu, but what if it is just another smaller gpu of only .5TF to help boost the main gpu and overall performance. Since MS have not elaborated on all their coprocessors yet, what if their combined power is easily enough to offload the gpu and make up the .5TF difference? We won't know for a long time yet :) |
Why denying a rumour if staying silent offers two advantages, consuming less energy and keeping your competitors on tenterhooks? 
Anyway, Albert Penello finally debunked the rumour, alas! It provided hours of mindless fun to noth sides, before it ended.
About laptop price, right, but usually you manage to get them for that price when their APUs, CPUs, GPUs, etc aren't the last novelty anymore. Currently, Sony's and MS customised 8-core AMD APUs haven't even been released, but eventually, components costs will drop and XBOne and PS4 will cost a lot less than a mid-low range laptop to build.
