All good stuff, thanks everyone.
btw, I know it seems early to be talking about next gen, but does anybody think any of the hardware makers will be going Intel/Nividia, instead of AMD/Radeon the next go round.
I thought it was common knowledge that the Intel/ Nividia route was the way to go for gaming
Did they choose the APU because combining one with a GPU is supposed to simulate crossfiring cards.

I use an A8/6970 in my HTPC, and an (I5/7970 Watercooled) for my desktop.

@bold, no.  They aren't combining it with a GPU so that wouldn't help.  

Good read, thank you.
