I have a hard time believing that any AMD offering would “pwn” an Intel offering. Haswell may not have the exact same graphical capabilities of AMD’s piledriver, but the CPU itself will be significantly faster as it seems AMD is just beating themselves over the head with their last few CPU lines.

After seeing Lenovo Yoga, I hope other ultrabook OEM’s produce similar models by the next year.

Although if you really want to be sure, I’d get a AMD Piledriver CPU with ‘Trinity’ integrated graphics. Those technologies will be released towards the end of 2012 and the Trinity GPU should pwn Intel’s Haswell integrated GPU pretty good.

Between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge, GPU performance will go up significantly. Between Ivy bridge and Haswell, the GPU improvement is less. Haswell should have plenty of GPU power for Dawn of War III. Probably not on maximum settings but should do the job.
I’d go for a Ultrabook rather than for a tablet with Hazwell.

Does that mean i will not be able to play Dawn of War III on a windows 8 intel tablet after all?
How good are those integrated graphics?
