The next generation of Intel’s Core i7 CPUs featuring the Sandy Bridge architecture will include an on-chip graphics processor capable of operating at speeds of up to 1.35 ghz. Intel claims the new hardware will outperform 40 to 50 percent of the standalone graphics cards currently on the market but even more interesting were comments from Newell at CES, who called the chip “a real game-changer for us.” Newell said […]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/41/41869.jpg
