[news 28]

Intel's new Centrino 2 platform is formally debuted today and it includes

quite a few new products and technologies including mobile 1066 MHz FSB

processors, a new chipset and integrated graphics core, hybrid graphics

support for IGP and discrete GPUs, draft-N wireless support and more!

Quote: "We mentioned switchable graphics above as a new power savings

technology from Intel, but what exactly is it? Think of it as NVIDIA's

Hybrid SLI technology for a notebook rather than a desktop; a notebook that

has both discrete and integrated graphics (as all Centrino 2 systems will

have) can either automatically or manually be switched from operating on

either GPU solution. This way you can see the benefits of an IGP solution

for battery life concerns when necessary or utilize the performance of a

discrete GPU solution for gaming sessions when battery life isn't an issue."

 

Thanks for a post!
