According to Adam, the AMD Kaveri A-Series would be positioned against the Core i5-4670K which is the top unlocked Core i5 Haswell part from Intel retailing currently at $225 US. AMDs flagship Kaveri APU is the A10-7850K which has been detailed here and features a total compute power of 856 Gigaflops. Compared to Intel Core i5-4670K thats a definite leap in performance but when compared in x86 performance alone, AMDs x86 enabled Steamroller cores would loose in the performance battle. This means that AMD is unable to keep up with Intel in terms of x86 performance with their new Steamroller architecture.
