Intel To Integrate DirectX 11 In Ivy Bridge Chips

angry tapir writes "Intel will integrate DirectX 11 graphics technology in its next generation of laptop and desktop chips based on the Ivy Bridge architecture, a company executive revealed at CES. AMD has already implemented DirectX 11 in its Fusion low-power chips. Intel expects to start shipping Ivy Bridge chips with DirectX 11 support to PC makers late this year. Ivy Bridge will succeed the recently announced Core i3, i5, and i7 chips, which are based on Intel's Sandy Bridge microarchitecture."

Are you talking about hardware DRM? Or are you talking about software DRM? Intel has nothing to do with DRM unless it's TPM. It is (for now unless you have a laptop, and even then used nowhere except companies with critical data) almost all software.
How about you explain yourself because your post is cryptic FUD.
Note: the most DRM I'd advocate ever is Steam facsimile DRM.
