Intel fakes Ivy Bridge Graphics at CES 2012

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

That's true. Not sure where you saw it but could it be turbo boost?

Also,another interesting fact is that the video in the OP presenter was talking about Ultrabooks too! The laptop used in Anandtech link looks like a standard laptop which has less thermal constraints.

I was right the Ultrabook CPU SKUs have a severely underclocked IGP:

Nice try intel. Faking the gag, just makes it even worse. Self-deprecating jokes are fine, so long as it's funny; this was not.

Personally, it's a non-issue because it's not exactly news that Intel graphics suck hard (and will continue to do so it seems). At a professional level though, it's pretty damn embarrasing if you ask me.

For those who are trying to brush this aside so swiftly, tell me this. If they had simply disabled the OSD on the player, would anyone have noticed? What's to stop them from just recording the game being played on a proper desktop GPU?

Intel is behind on the GPU front, but given how good their CPUs are, who cares?
AMD could probably really do well in this niche thanks to their ATI. It will be interesting if Intel ramps up their GPU department and eventually ends up competing with ATI/NVIDIA on the discrete GPU front. I'd love to see three competitors. It used to be more colourful back when S3, NVIDIA, ATI, Matrox, PowerVR, 3dfx etc were all in the mix.

Guess proper gaming on something as thin as the ultrabook is too much to ask.

But I remember reading that Ivy is designed for adjustable TDP, so when a notebook is docked it can run at higher clocks and generate more heat, but the docking station will have better cooling. If that's the approach they use with ultrabooks it could be great. The perfect portable laptop. very light to carry around, but you can return home, dock it, and have more performance.

lmao that was a funny vid....how very dare they

Not that I care realy but I am interested to see ivy bridge released.

 

[olivier renault]

Nope.. AMD Was once top and i stuck since

Not seen a penny off me yet since pentium 4 :')

Isn't that the definition of a fanboy?

On topic, People say it's been taken out of context, and it is purposefully a fake, sort of an in-joke.. I must say it's a weird way to generate exposure.

People also say that OJ is innocent and still looking for the "real killers"; people say a lot of strange things, doesn't make them true.

This is embarrassing for Intel and I don't buy for one moment that it was "purposefully fake", however it will be quickly forgotten and is not the PR disaster some are making it out to be.

Probably, I wana see what comes out of Bulldozer mess up yet I can jump over to the intel side if AMD and Microsoft make too much of a mess or false promise everyone when its time for my upgrade..

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".

This seems like a really big none issue. The speaker goes look I can play with one hand jokingly, then goes look I can play with zero hands as its being steamed from a mini laptop behind screen.

What is wrong with steaming with VLC?

The only Muppets are the people who think Intel was faking or got caught with their pants down. Did you even watch the video!

 

[VaderDSL]

Its like nobody told the guy on stage they weren't actually demoing live Ok, let me show you this game running on Ivy bridge igp, wait a second .. oh wtf?!

Either way its a none issue, but funny non the less

 

[wildman]

whilst this is clearly bad press for Intel, I am not sure if anyone is going to care anyway. Most enthusiasts that get an Ivy are not getting it for its onboard GPU. In fact if intel developed it without on board GPU i bet you it would still fly off the shelves.

For GPU CPUs I am sure most people would opt for the Lano which probably does it better ? I could have course be very wrong in my assertions here as I am not really a cpu expert

It seems the higher base clockspeed of the CPU is down to the configurable TDP:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5391/intel-demos-dx11-running-on-ivy-bridge-ultrabook

If the TDP has been increased the GPU clockspeed will also increase.

It seems the 17W parts can be configured upto 33W TDP:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4764/ivy-bridge-configurable-tdp-detailed

The part used is probably the 17W Core i7-3667U:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5192/ivy-bridge-mobile-lineup-overview

It has a 350MHZ GPU when run at a 17W TDP. It seems if you were to up the TDP,the GPU probably runs at 650MHZ.

 

[Snax]

I wish Intel had displayed the GPU holding a perfect 24p. Then Ivy would have been sensational for me.

 

[Mookzen]

Intel's 'best gpu' cannot keep up with its best CPU, and AMD's 'best' CPU cannot keep up with its best GPU. Pick your poison.

Quite a succinct summary of current times this.

 

[Psyisk]

This is ridiculous, the vidio is sosososo obvious....no attempt to even try to lie well..

don't say that, the Intel boys will savage you alive!
