1. not to be picky, but... "should allow should allow"

2. When your system performs at 2fps in some games and 0 fps on others, it is not difficult to improve those results by 10X in 2 years.

Yeah,

anyone, who gets excited by this news, is only fooling,,,themselves.

This is purely more Intel marketing b.s.

3. I thought every six months video graphics tech double in speed anyways? (looking at the 3rd para) Perhaps intergrated graphics don't follow that six month trend. In anycase it is very exciting the read Intel is considering high performace cards..I say bring it!

Doesn't double in speed every 6 months any more, does it?

more like double every 2 years or something, 6 months period is nothing but bull.

unless of course with phenomenal releases like the 780G chipset which is not only capable of full HD 1080 playback powered by a single cored SEMPRON, but also extremely overclockable, but that's something you see once, every 5 years or something.

Taking into consideration VISTA's demanding GPU power for better windows experience, the rate my decrease to 1 year for double the performance, but once the score 5 is reached, i guess they will stop there, till LCD standards are starting from 2560x1600 standard.

Full HD decode acceleration is just a feature where now is the right time for it to appear on the checklist. nVidia's latest has it as well, as will G45. No big deal and I shouldn't even include it under ' graphics power' in the usual sense.

4. Their baseline for improvement seems to be the G965's graphics. My thinking is that 10x its performance still wont equal that of the just-released AMD780's integrated graphics.

So what, exactly, about this initiative is a change of SOP at Intel?

Your thinking is wrong

Support that statement with facts, please.

5. Integrated graphics....................????

Who cares..........................

Who cares?

HTPC, notebook builders.

well at the top of my mind, offices and business owners who find an additional graphics card added to each system is a waste of time and money, specially with the demanding graphical interface of vista.
"i find the vista experience totally different dependent on the graphics card's power in use"

Also, HTPCs, as mentioned above, saving space, power, heat and money

Finally, traditional gamers who want to take a peak at some game @ 1024x768 with no fancy stuff enabled, i am one of them btw

who cares?!
well, everyone ... but gamers.

I stand by what I say. So are you gonna buy a new computer every year? That is about how often a person will need to upgrade their video card in order to play the top games. Now look at the low end built in graphics. They probably loose their usefullness much quicker than a tradational video card. So yea you can have your HTPC but you better have a slot to put a new video card in it because you are gonna need it sooner than later..................in regards to who cares....if you figure out the percentage of people on the planet who care it is probably less than a fraction of one percent minus one.

Quick! Get your head out of your butt! You might realise something!

No you first, then you might realize that you spelled realize wrong you dork.

He spelt it right.

Realise => UK, Australia, etc
Realize => US, etc.

... Coming from the person who used the word "spelt" :P
Just kidding :)

6. Lets hope Intel can engineering marvel of the Core 2 and implement it to their GPUs so runs cool and kicks Nvidia and AMD deep in the nads!

Not likely, but it was a nice thought.

7. Does no one else remember the 80-core 'processor' Intel demoed a year or so back?

why is no one putting two and two together?!!
