@cyberkid,
HD4000 is equal to nothing in gaming performance.you may think all the time that you have back up but when the times when you will have to jump from a discrete to HD4000 then you will feel its wrath.btw if i remember it correctly then those delta peripherals prices are excluding taxes.i may be wrong.
btw AMD could have continued giving those comparitively good on board graphic chips in their mobos rather than throwing it of the window.
power consumption only matters to those pople who run their computer 24X7 under full load but if you are running your computer at full load for hardly 2-3hrs a day then you will save negligible amount of power.if the world is going in that much "go Green" way then every house out there should have CFLs and none of the shops should sell 0,100 watt bulbs.street lights glowing even in the morning.using electric guisers,etc.,we waste hell lot of power everyday for useless things and then we try to save 0.1 or even 0.01% of that in computers.whats the use of it?
Do you even know what hd4000 is? Do you know how much it differs from hd 3000?
Performance of hd4000 sometimes touches llano a8. It supports direct compute 5 and gives playable framerates in all titles.
Talk about the bold part what you said, care to check the following:

Are those unplayable framerates? Besides those crappy onboard gpu that amd used to give in its motherboards are no match for hd 4000. Again misleading info.
The next iteration of intel hd that's gonna come with haswell will have dx11.1, full compute performance with direct compute ( hd4000 has this) , opencl 1.2 , opengl 4.0 (gaming) and a newer and more powerful version of quicksync.
This is gonna also assist the cpu in opencl accelerated apps without the need of a discrete gpu. It also draws very few similarities from intel's larabee architecture ( broadwell will be a full redesign and might have dedicated vector processor like larabee for compute). You know how xeon phi performs right? It has already been implemented in a supercomputer and will be commercially available very soon.
Mate don't post stuff without giving them a second thought.
Looking at your mockery towards environment, i really feel sad. Although it has no meaning in the context of this thread, you don't understand the significance.
In my house, we use cfl's only and i guess lots of members here do the same. The electric geysers you talk about now come with 5 star rating that save considerable amount of power than previous iterations. In short, each and every industry is doing their part and so is the cpu industry. If power consumption was negligible, why the heck would reviewers even include them to their tests? Think this in a broader way and don't relate this in a personal context.
