Intel fakes Ivy Bridge Graphics at CES 2012
- Thread starter Doomedspeed
- Start date
I was thinking its a non issue until I saw the video where it stutters and the guy is pretending to play it with a wheel...That's a pretty bad joke and very embarrassing!
They have no competition and make amazing hardware like Sandybridge, you'd think they would be sailing a long now instead of doing stupid stuff like this.
Even if they delay Ivy, what are people going to spend their money on instead? Sandy...

Oh intel this is why i don't buy
No, you're just jumping on this because you appear to be an AMD fan, if you buy products based upon things like this, then that's your loss, but i have a tip for you, buy products in the future based on price and performance, not by things like this.
Oh, and Intel are way better than AMD, and for the record, i have an AMD 965.
exactly!

you're showing them!
Nope.. AMD Was once top and i stuck since
Not seen a penny off me yet since pentium 4 :')
Im aware the new i5 is amazing and i will be going there if ivy is worth it but if not then i don't know..
In the old days of computing companies like intel would send CPU's out to magazines to review that were significantly faster than the production chips. even the clock speed was higher than was printed on the CPU, but back then was no motherboards or programs that could report the actual clock frequency of the CPU.
I even recall some companies were changing the crystals on the motherboards for faster speeds, with "special" bios that reported the "correct" speed.

lol, Thats it. You punish them!!
Who's really losing out here?Also this is a non-issue. Idiots like Semiaccurate blowing it up out of proportion as usual with their the-end-of-the-world-is-nigh bullcrap. They're the technology version of the Daily Mail and Fox News. Anyone would think judgement day was around the corner just by looking at their home page (and I mean all three). What a pointless rant that semiaccurate link was. I fought my natural revulsion (and the bile rising to the back of my throat) and read that article just to see if things were different this time. But no. It was just one more revolting, oppinionated rant.
It's also quite obvious from the video the guy wasn't trying to deceive them. He just walks off while the car continues to be driven. There is no deception here. At best, it was a gag, and he laughed about it. And the audience laughed about. It's very possible that this was recorded on Ivybridge.
Here's another video, btw.

edit: I wonder how much that semiaccurate ignoramus gets paid by AMD. I still doubt his efforts are nearly enough to salvage Bulldozer, though.

Actually it looks BSN probably leaked the news first:
http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2012/1/9/intel-fakes-dx11-ultrabook-demo.aspx
The video in the OP was posted by them. AFAIK,BSN is not a pro-AMD website,just another tech tabloid like SA.
Even then SA seems to be more negative about Nvidia GPUs than pro-AMD CPU.
Oh noes! Its a conspiracy!
These articles don't seem positive about BD:
http://semiaccurate.com/2011/10/17/why-did-bulldozer-underwhelm/
http://semiaccurate.com/2011/10/17/bulldozer-doesnt-have-just-a-single-problem/
This one is not positive too:
http://semiaccurate.com/2011/09/06/what-is-going-on-with-glofos-32nm-process/
At least when it comes to the AMD CPUs I don't see SA trying to put a more positive spin on them.

too true, not really a great deal of reviewers gave much of a positive review on Bulldozer, lots of them seem to realise that the architecture has promise but that it came out too pre-mature and wasn't quite ready for the big bad world.
it also doesn't surprise me that Intel have been caught doing dishonest things, lets be honest through the years Intel have built up quite a reputation for being dishonest and nasty at the best of times, they've been sued on a ton of occasions for that sort of thing also.
on another note, knowing that Trinity is faster than Llano in the graphics department must send shivers down their spines, Llano destroyed Sandy Bridge on-board graphics processor, that is probably an understatement, it is the one area where Intel absolutely cannot compete. to be honest this sort of thing just shouts out that they are really consigned to the fact that again, Trinity is going to rip Ivy Bridge a new one in the graphics department and there isn't nothing (except being deceitful) that Intel can do about it.

Yeah, I saw the BSN thing. I was merely remarking on how revolting semiaccurate articles are. Utter pigswill.
Notice the difference in writing style and tone between the BSN article and Semiaccurate. The former sounds like it is trying to reveal and report the facts allowing the readers to draw their own conclusions. The latter sounds like it's trying to rouse the villages and lead them, pitchforks, torches and all, to the doors of the monster. It tries to tell you what you believe. It's an insult to the intelligence of anyone except those utterly bereft of any.
The problem with news of such an extremely opinionated style is that it is ceases to be news and becomes propaganda. Surely you're above that.
Also, thanks for the links. Surprisingly they actually didn't try to spin bulldozer up. But notice that again the bulldozer articles are apologetic. If it were NVIDIA or Intel he'd be asking for their heads on a pike. Metaphorically speaking of course.

Just noticed one thing in the Intel video though - the CPU seems to be overclocked! Does this mean the GPU clock is also increased like with Llano??
Why didn't they just fire up CPU-Z and GPU-Z??

Ivybridge IGP clocks are slightly lower and the voltages are lower than Sandybridge but they are more powerful, and feature more execution units. But CPU clocks should be higher. I'd bet the IGP being lower clocked/voltaged will allow for even higher clocks

I am quite aware that the EUs are quite different from those in Sandy Bridge.
However,the video shows the CPU running at 2.5GHZ instead of the base 2GHZ reported by Windows. Generally this happens when you overclock a CPU.
With Llano,overclocking the CPU leads to a higher GPU clockspeed too, so this is why CPU-Z and GPU-Z pictures would be useful.
