What do you geeks think of AMD's new socket FM1 processors with the built-in Radeon graphics, are they any good or is it just marketing hype?

Based on what I have seen and read they are pretty decent value for money but if you can afford it then it's best to get a "proper" graphics card.
People are saying they game pretty well on low to medium settings, stay cool and run pretty effortlessly.

Yeah I was wondering whether the graphics were going to be as good as having a dedicated card, or just mediocre like usual built-in graphics on motherboards for example.

Don't quite a lot of Intel chips come with built in graphics these days, so they can run Windows Vista and 7? They seem to do the job and are a pretty decent option on notebooks.
