http://techreport.com/news/25948/specs- ... processorsThe e350 and e450 have served the majority of the mass market with low cost computing for quite some time.
The kabini chips are 4 cores with above average CPU and GPU compute. This will not only allow for HTPC/NAS in a single system but with mantle(if it really materializes) and HSA it will actually become a cheap Steambox or gaming system.
AMD 7850k overclocked to 4.7 ghz from 3.7 stock on air. GPU overclocked to 1020Mhz from 720Mhz.

The overclocks and temps of early overclockers were impressive.
My take would be: the tock of the 32nm piledriver did bring in some improvements as far as temps were concerned, but overclocking on air required some experience. The 28nm tick of the steamroller cores coupled with GCN cores have yielded better results than 32nm, thereby allowing further overclocking. The A8-7600 has been targeted as a mainstream APU. The 7850k is for the 'enthusiast'.
