Intel reveals yet another new CPU socket, but this time it has DX11.1 support in its integrated grap

Boxes.
Boxes everywhere.

But the real question is...

How many decent PC's can you buy with the price of this processor?

I mean, it's nice that they create more powerful processors, but the prices tend to be awful for the first couple of years.

Intel, stop fucking trying, the great majority of your integrated video solutions are fucking awful. I'm tired of seeing Intel Motherfucking Extreme Raping Graphics everywhere, usually those sorry pieces of shit perform worse than a 9600. Radeon.

They're not meant for games, they're meant for media acceleration (with software that supports it).

Yeah, but their low-range solutions (i mean the Atom ones) are awful, they should focus on them instead of toasting new video solutions for high-range processors that nobody will actually use because they'll buy a dedicated video card anyway (well, they are useful on laptops for hybrid architectures decicated for power-saving, but nothing else) .

But those are old news.

The current line of Intel laptop processors has the HD3000, which is actually quite powerful, capable of running source games well. That's what these are for mostly, laptops.

If you were manufacturing computers, would you not rather save money by skipping the GPU?

The amount of stupidity in this thread is astounding.

In regards to this news I'm not really sure how to take it. It looks like a step to better processors, but abandoning 1155 so soon seems kinda rash.

I still find it annoying that Intel is constantly pushing out new sockets. What happened to the days of LGA775?

Guess Intel's still polishing their new standard for CPU's with integrated GPU.
Also Intel DID spoil computer people by using the same socket for so long, it's quite unusual that they used it for so long.

We're not in Windows 98 era anymore. Operative systems interfaces today rely on video cards. Maybe the end user won't notice the difference (apart from horrible hiccups and sloppy Windows performance) , but Intel is still milking old architectures. The average Atom netbook features the [URL="http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-3150.23264.0.html"]GMA 3150[/URL]. On the same range the AMD C-50 features the [URL="http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6250.40958.0.html"]Radeon 6250[/URL].

[QUOTE=JohnnyOnFlame;34686354]GPGPU On a processor? Wasnt the whole objective of it sparing CPU time and having extreme multi threading? WTF Intel?[/QUOTE]

Yes. GPU was also originally meant to render normal raster video (which now CPU almost always does), render pretty much every part of GUI more complex than plain text.

Separate GPUs aren't a virtue - they are a necessity for today. The miniaturization and integration allows us to fit more and more functionality into the CPU itself, which spares the system bus of unneeded traffic, allows better power saving, saves physical space, etc. I don't dare to say that dedicated GPUs will be phased out, but their importance will surely significantly drop over time.

Can you pretend to play F1 2011 with it?
