Intel G45 - Next Generation Integrated Graphics

jmke · 21st August 2008, 18:27

The conference started out with an overview of why the personal computer is becoming an important tool for watching video. A theme that carried over from the keynote speeches this morning. In fact, the latest studies show the average user watches 228 minutes of video over the internet each month. Also, just in the US, we viewed over 12 billion videos online in May of this year alone. Besides watching videos online, viewing high definition content is becoming increasingly important.

Intel made a point that the G45 is capable of playing back high-definition content while performing other tasks. To prove their point, they presented an interesting demo that featured the Blu-ray and SD versions of Batman Begins each playing at the same time along with Blu-ray picture-in-picture playback. Of course, we have had this capability from AMD and NVIDIA for several months but the G965/G35 could not handle this task. What really made the demo interesting was the video/audio output being sent to the Onkyo TX-SR605 and then out to the display and speakers via HDMI.
