The C50 catches my eye, would be nice to see this as a SFF board but would like to see a higher gpu speed. more for decoding then anything else on the higher gpu speed but who knows its current listed speed maybe more then enough.
The E450 IMO should have been clocked up to 1.7 or 1.8 to space its self from the E350. To stay in the 18watts for the rest they could have shaved off a bit on the gpu clocks. even then if it had a higher GPU speed as listed with 1.8ghz that should fit below a 25watt TDP. for as much performance packed into a small package for still about 80+% of the users out there. the 25watt(+/-) TDP wouldn't be that big of a deal, it would still be a cooling running setup.
With the C50 i see a good candidate for Tablets, would give Tegra II and the Arm setups a run for their money for sure. though those that keep track some of the current arm cpus come clocked at 1.5ghz. would that slightly higher clock make up for the difference with the amd coming in with a stronger the GPU. Tegra II on-board GPU might match the C50 but that is yet to be seen/tested. the rest of the tablets using TI omap4's the powerVR isnt the best and will be beaten by AMD's gpu on the C50. Though once the TI omap5 comes out that story will change but on that side we are looking at about another 6+months for new tablets with it being used. as the Omap5 comes with updated PowerVR which is said to double its performance vs Omap4, as well as the cpu being clocked as high as 2ghz.
It would be nice to see pricing stay the same for these new parts. Though like anything newly released expect prices to be higher then listed.
