Core i5 and i3 CPUs With On-Chip GPUs Launched

Posted by timothy on from the two-links-is-plenty dept.

MojoKid writes "Intel has officially launched their new Core i5 and Core i3 lineup of Arrandale and Clarkdale processors today, for mobile and desktop platforms respectively. Like Intel's recent release of the Pinetrail platform for netbooks, new Arrandale and Clarkdale processors combine both an integrated memory controller (DDR3) and GPU (graphics processor) on the same package as the main processor. Though it's not a monolithic device, but is built upon multi-chip module packaging, it does allow these primary functional blocks to coexist in a single chip footprint or socket. In addition, Intel beefed up their graphics core and it appears that the new Intel GMA HD integrated graphics engine offers solid HD video performance and even a bit of light gaming capability."

    It doesn't surprise me that this technology wasn't invented in that racist slave faleva dubai.

    As a 49 year old feminist grandmother I think and consider you're a fool, most people don't need to be so coreful in the first place... and if you're such a cadhead that you actually might need more than 2 cores you can investigate what the model numbers correspond to. Quit whinging, there are bigger things to worry about in life than looking up some specs once a year.
