Imagine combining a GPU and a CPU in one processor?

Phenom II X4 965BE is a better buy look's like it for same or just few bucks more. The over all system would be cheaper too.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/Jan 4th 2010 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/
The AMD Phenom X4 965BE TDP is 125W.
The comparable Intel Core i5 660 TDP is 73W.

And the mobile Intels are half that again.

This is like P4 versus Athlon 64 all over again. No matter how cheap the chip is up front you're going to pay on the back end if you buy the chip which is burning through much more power.]]>Jan 4th 2010 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/
At stock speeds yes, the i5 uses less power but who keeps it at stock speeds? 965BE is clocked at 3.4GHz. So if you overclock the i5(which you can do easy over 3.4GHz) you won't see much price difference in power usage.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/
Intel and AMD define TDP at different ways:

And once they are slaves of intel, since intel and other companies can refuse them the next time, doesn't it follow that they also make sure they aren't 'too negative about the boss'? Because what if intel takes you of the list of getting those pre-release samples and won't allow you to sign an NDA and your 'review' will be 2 weeks later when people aren't that interested anymore and all read NDA-'powered' sites already?

All integrated graphics suck.

From Anandtech's Arrandale review:

"It's also nice to see integrated Intel graphics that don't suck… or at least, they only suck as bad as the current AMD and NVIDIA IGPs."]]>Jan 4th 2010 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/

Ya, I think so too. I hope they add more stuff or reduce hte price or something though because just the new chip isn't compelling enough.
