    AMD has already demonstrated similar impressive results with Doom and other games that suggest, soon enough, just about any laptop you pay more than a few hundred bucks for will be able to play video games at impressive frame rates and settings as both the API drivers and hardware become more powerful. Already cheaper laptops are becoming more gaming capable and this means within a few more additional years even cheap ones will do some pretty impressive gaming at high resolutions and frame rates when the prices start to come down on the yet to be released 10nm chips, which means, you will even be able to game on a cheap computer using only ten watts for the gpu and cpu.

    The battle for the low end of cheap portable computing has just begun and it will be a few years yet before we see how it all shakes out for Nvidia, Intel, and AMD.

    Intel and Microsoft will still rule the day because gaming just does not generate the $$$$$$ you think it does when compared enterprise/business users.

    and you still haven't answered, Do you work for AMD?
