Yes, when you compare it with what intel has to offer, it's great. But Intel is currently far, far behind AMD in multicore performance on 15-25W laptop chips. So if just being better than intel was the goal, Apple could have gone with R7 4800U, which would mean lot less hassle with porting software and giving up Windows compatibility. For some people this transition is going to be very painful, so I'm really hoping for something that doesn't just beat Intel (that is a dead horse already), but also AMD, with a significant margin to make it worth the hassle.
