Intel getting caught with there pants down at CES 2012.

Article

Video

VLC player control panel can be seen at the start of the F1 demo, at the end the guy "admits" the "live demo" is run from "backstage".
 
Whoop-de-doo basil!
Come on, the likely story is that it's video of it running on IvyBridge. They're just being slightly idiotic and trying to cover it through pointless lies (badly) and making them look like they're "cheating".

Non-issue, move along people.
 
Made me lol. tbh don't care about the graphics I will use a graphics card for that not a cpu. But this was funny.

Looks like a pretty big issue to me.

Flagship product being demonstrated at one of the biggest technology shows in the world, and the technology media are reporting that they are faking results. VP steering on a wheel that's connected doing nothing to woo the fans?

Absolutely fine, all seems perfectly above board. Nothing to see here.

Big company lying about results is nothing new tho and they do it all the time.
 
Oh completely, they all do it. I just think it's an issue, rather than a misnomer.

Sadly will never change due to deadlines and money. Even when ivybridge is released I don't think the graphics will be up to par. Look at sandybridge 1 year on and still not working right.
 
The graphics ability does look rather dissapointing though. AFAIK,they were running F1 2011 at 1366X768 on medium settings.

However,the AMD Llano A8-3500M can run F1 2010 on medium at 1920X1080 fine:

I suspect,the Llano A8 and Trinity quad cores will be able to run F1 2011 better than the Intel HD4000.

With the improvements to Trinity,I suspect AMD will still have a decent lead over Intel with their IGPs.
 
Embarassing yes but other then that i mean it's not like they tried to convince the world they had a product all ready to go woodscrews and all is it ;). Other then a few pages on some forums this won't make a blind bit of difference and certainly won't impact them in any meaningful way the past shows us that with intel.
