Intel Shows Off Pine Trail Atom CPU / GPU Hybrids At IDF
At IDF 2009, Intel has just announced their Pine Trail CPU / GPU hybrids, which will be in some netbooks next year since it’s part of Intel’s Atom line-up. Unfortunately, all they showed off was some measly 480p resolution video, but Intel did mention that it does have 780p capabilities “if pushed”. If you want 1080p playback it’ll cost you about $30 more for the Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator.
Engadget also mentioned that they also showed off “demo machines running 32nm Arrandale chips, with Intel’s Clear HD video playback system, and the next-gen Gulftown gaming chip, which has six cores and will slot right into your X58 mobo to provide more power than you possibly need sometime next year.” Excited yet?
