fair point. Here's a more interesting benchmark [1]

Thus we’ve discovered and confirmed Kaveri’s biggest advantage over Richland, performance per watt. At the high-end Kaveri doesn’t have a lot to offer non-gamers but once you bring TDPs down into standard small form factor or laptop ranges the performance profile of AMD’s newest chip is a lot more competitive. At the present time Kaveri’s performance appears to be a little behind, but still near what we’ve seen from Intel’s ~45 Watt Iris Pro or GT3e graphics solution.

It is interesting to note that at the lower resolutions the Iris Pro wins on most benchmarks, but when the resolution and complexity is turned up, especially in Sleeping Dogs, the Kaveri APUs are in the lead.

Seems that Kaveri might not beat intel on the desktop, but might do so on the laptop.

The 45 Watt version of kaveri isn't even out yet and is nothing more than a paper launch. The 15 Watt laptop version hasn't even paper launched yet. I really don't think that this is going to provide any advantage in the laptop space.
