And how IS their performance, DJBarry? Last time I checked, Kaveri surpassed (if not crushed) Regor and my crippled no-L3 Deneb in every application, including Dolphin, meaning that my statement is very true. Though, I've yet to actually run the current benchmark. If it'll make you happy about this, I'll run it later and compare my performance to that of Kaveri.
Though, the thing about IR is only true if he gets a discreet GPU rivaling or surpassing my own. Not very difficult; 5770 was smashed by the 7770, at a lower opening price point and is now ~$80-100 (iirc), and nVidia's recently come out with an entry-level solution that's much better than that at a LOWER price. And the 5770 was already only $160 at launch.
