On par with an I7? Somehow doubt it. Love to see some benchmarks though if that's the case

Mobile U series 15w i7, they are not the most powerful of CPUs. Still says a lot that AMD can compete when using 28nm

Well still. It's got to be compared to a dual core then right iirc? I don't pay much attention for mobile

Yeah, it is a dual core.

That's much more believable then. And impressive on AMD parts. Can't wait for 14nm! Should be huge for them^_^

Competes with the skylake i7 6500u? Im certain many fanbois would be able to come up with something, however considering the different process AMD is doing great.
