Yes it is. See above.

Just because they were planning to have HSA IGPs in the future (with an entirely different type of GPU and CPU microarchitecture I might add) doesn't make llano anything more than a regular cpu with an IGP. And they chose to call it an APU. Making the term as it stands now fairly pointless.

The same goes for AMD though. They leapfrog each other every few months but overall AMDs IGPs are a little bit faster. They both support the same APIs too.
