AMD either win comfortably, or it's within 5 watts/degrees (for HD6000s as well. I just used 7970 reviews because they're the most up to date), but the temps are irrelevant anyway as who's going to buy a dedicated card with a stock cooler?
Still, I don't keep up with laptops at all, so I was actually surprised to see laptops getting results that good now.
