Not really.This smells Richland all over again, when we got promised everything but in reality got only small improvements.
PCmark8- Mullins @ 4.5W scores 1809pts while Kabini A6-1450 @ 8W scores 1343pts. 35% higher score with almost 2x less specced TDP.
3dmark11- Mullins(4.5W) scores 22% higher vs Kabini A6-1450. GPU clock is likely again ~20% higher on Mullins Vs A6-1450, TDP spec of Mullins SoC is almost 2x lower.
Pcmar8- Beema (15W) scores 2312pts while Kabini A6-5200 (25W) scores 1861pts. Beema scores 24% higher while having 40% less TDP than A6-5200. This implies AMD is able to clock up Beema part to ~2.5Ghz vs 2Ghz on Kabini while consuming roughly 40% less power at that clock Vs Kabini @ 2Ghz. That's massive improvement if true (unless someone would like to suggest that tweaked Kabini, which is Beema has much higher IPC- highly unlikely scenario). Score of 2312pts(Vs 1861 of Kabini) is there, there are just two ways to get it: clock or IPC or combo of both (IPC being minor part in combo).
3dmark11- Beema(15W) scores 20% higher vs Kabini A6-5200 (25W). GPU clock is likely again ~20% higher while SoC's TDP spec is supposedly 40% lower than A6-5200.
