AMD to launch Trinity desktop APUs on the 1st October? - CPU - News - HEXUS.net
AMD's top-end Trinity desktop chip could cost just $130, the same as a budget Core i3 -- Engadget
^^ They will never perform anywhere close to Intel chips, but what I mean to say say by the word 'erform' is that I hope that they will be sold in a desired amount and must not be a flop as bulldozers.
I think the fastest quad-core 65W Trinity desktop APU would be the best choice for power and performance POV.

I have question on similar lines. we have 5500 and 5600k(similarly priced) Trinity CPU's but with 65W and 100W - TDP is always the max rated value so for same task being achieved in both configs will lead to same power usage ? (Looks theory but here an example.) -
you run pro-e on 2 configs will both use same amount of power ? or is it something that even with no load a higher TDP rated CPU is going to use more power ?
to put it simple the power consumption depends upon architecture's efficiency not TDP. TDP is just a ceiling point beyond which the power consumption of cpu and gpu won't go.
The TDP is typically not the most power the chip could ever draw, such as by a power virus, but rather the maximum power that it would draw when running "real applications". This ensures the computer will be able to handle essentially all applications without exceeding its thermal envelope.
The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the average maximum power a processor can dissipate while running commercially available software. TDP is primarily used as a guideline for manufacturers of thermal solutions (heatsinks/fans, etc) which tells them how much heat their solution should dissipate. TDP is not the maximum power the CPU may generate - there may be periods of time when the CPU dissipates more power than designed, in which case either the CPU temperature will rise closer to the maximum, or special CPU circuitry will activate and add idle cycles or reduce CPU frequency with the intent of reducing the amount of generated power.
