Intel: People Do Not Need High-Performance Graphics
@ 2010/03/08A highly-ranking executive of Intel Corp. said in an interview that the vast majority of customers hardly need high performance graphics. While it is clear that by far not everyone plays video games, the claim still reminds the phrase about 640 kilobytes of RAM being enough for everyone.
“When people think about graphics, they think about 3D war games and more realism. I'm not going to dismiss this, but (this market) attracts a relatively small amount of people. I think what a significant portion of consumers really want is media,” said Intel executive vice president Dadi Perlmutter, in an interview with Cnet News.com web-site.
Intel of course don't tell use this for no reason, they just want the people to understand why there isn't a problem when buying a high-end cpu with built-in graphics. If they'd tell use the opposite, nobody would by their stuff anymore
@N°13: Intel realised that and introduced it's Turboboost technology so you have more Hz when you're only using one or two cores.
