There is tons of new info. online today from AMD's Financial Analysis Day.
As far as Trinity laptop CPUs are concerned it's ~25 faster than Llano and has lower power consumption. AMD showed a 17w version at CES running a Vid game, decoding and compiling on three screens concurrently.
As we know, AMD made the decision a while back to switch the entire road map to this core pair approach. It doesn't seem particularly well suited for use in mobile and low power models though. We will see the result with Trinity. Trinity may or may not have better performance than the Llano line it replaces. But how will Trinity battery life look compared to the competition?
This is a really good performance over all and the price of the workstation is less then same performance on an intel system. The power consumption is a little bit to high on max workloads.
Bulldozer appears to have been designed more for servers than desktop and it's performance reflects this. With Piledriver core CPUs expected in Q4 for desktop, the Opteron line is likely to get a speed bump next year which will continue to keep AMD in the hunt as a good value/performance proposition for much of enterprise.

Trinity laptop is at the top of my BUY list.
