Isn't that what AMD-ATI is already planning to release? If Intel who's already in the works of getting the 45nm CPUs out even before AMD releases their quad core processors, Intel is in for good market gain with this integrated GPU, even if it's more like a de-accelerator. 45nm Core 2 Duos + DDR3 sure sounds interesting."

"Probably the most shocking news on the grapevine is the not-so-subtle hint that Intel will be a LOT more serious about 3D graphics. Although they may eventually offer discrete graphics solutions, like what NVIDIA and ATI are doing right now, they are actually looking to integrate the graphics circuitry within the processor itself.

Now, Intel is no stranger to integrated graphics. Their chipsets have always offered an integrated graphics solution, which have proven to be robust and functional, if nothing else. In fact, the new Graphics Media Acceleration X3100 was just launched for the new Centrino Duo and Centrino Pro platforms.

However, integrating graphics into the CPU itself is a totally different cup of tea. It will be a new feat for Intel and potential cause for concern for ATI and NVIDIA. Even if these CPUs cannot offer the same cutting-edge performance as the GeForce 8800 Ultra or the upcoming Radeon HD 2900 XT, they will still cut into the OEM graphics market which is where the big money lies."

There were some interesting items to see, but nothing new or earth shaking in the realm of computers for the home theater. If you are in the New York City area and fancy yourself an audiophile with minimal interest in computers, the show runs through Sunday, May 13, 2007. The cost of admission will make for a lovely Mother's Day present."
