No, they're better than that old crap.
They use a tweaked vers of the same arch as the Athlon II (or Phenom II).
Basically, it's the best AMD has to offer... (clock-for-clock)
And the better of their IGPs actually seem fairly decent.
128-bit DDR3-1866 (29.9GB/s memory bandwidth).
Should be enough to handle the majority of PS2 emulation, mostly at low res.

if killing all background noise programs and coding out to GUI to a fixed set I'd expect the A4-3330MX @ 1333 mem to run DMC fluid 60 - 2x scaled if the EE and GS portion are run good efficient on 1 and the MTVU on the second thread.

The HD 6480G (1333Mhz) only has ~17GB/s bandwidth.
Might be pushing it at 2x scaling.

I know. I have 12.5 and did the 2x. It fell to 45 at the bosses.
native is good there. still my processor suffers from low clockrate and sync sometimes. not even 100% sure that dual 2.2 might work. but tweaking all out it should run atleast the VU1 really nice. EE, Sound and GS need a nifty full "hardware" solution to keep it in one thread. mmmh.
