Intel fakes Ivy Bridge Graphics at CES 2012!

I wonder if Trinity does a similar thing too?? AMD has configurable TDPs for their Opterons.

A shame though that Anandtech has completely ignored that demo ATM. Hopefully,they will have it up today.

The video on BSN of them playing on the same model of ultrabook looks far more jerky than the video they played at the briefing, and it looks to be running on lower settings too, not really impressed by any igp tbh but I would rather have an amd igp if I had to choose.

From what I have seen of Intel drivers of the past, I assume that is the only game they can find that doesn't crash in under a minute

You say that.. but why the video back up?

Oh come on guys, who here expected an IGP to *really* be capable of drawing polygons faster than a kid with a pack of Crayola?

I think that is the kicker here though. I expect the Intel IGP really is capable of running a basic DX11 game. Sadly I expect their drivers will never let it happen.

My E350 mini laptop mainly plays plants vs zombies so my requirements are not hardcore. It mainly consists of "Don't artefact, certainly don't crash".

The £50 A4-3400 has around the same IGP performance as the HD3000 in the £100+ Core i3 2105.

The IGP is very close to an HD6450 graphics card which is around £25 to £30.

The A8-3850 and A8-3870K have an IGP which is similar in speed to an HD5550 GDDR5 or an HD4670.

For a lot of pre-built desktops it means they will be capable of running even some newer games at reasonable settings.
