Sounds like an endorsement that could work equally well for Intel's integrated graphics.

I've heard it is the worst of the options.

Many reviews have found that Intel's CPUs have the best performance at given power envelopes.

How does cost compare?

The 45W Athlon X2 4850 (2.5GHz) is listed at just £49 (incl. VAT) at dabs.com. At that price the only Intel alternative is a Pentium Dual Core E2200 (2.2GHz) at 65W. The Core 2 Duo E7200 (2.5GHz) is £75 and 65W. That is a 53% premium at a higher TDP.
