Intel Pushes Back the Release of Chips with Integrated Graphics

Intel has pushed the release of its upcoming chips with integrated graphics core to 2010. According to the company, the move was necessitated due to the “client platform learning and customer feedback” it gained in 2008. These chips - codenamed Auburndale and Havendale -are based on Intel’s Nehalem microarchitecture and have integrated graphics core, memory controller and PCI-Express. They will be locking horns with AMD’s much vaunted APU (accelerated processing unit) that the company has codenamed Fusion. If AMD can release its Fusion in the second half of 2009, as widely speculated, it will have a bit of time to freely plug its APU.

I just looked closer at that diagram...very interesting.  They have it spec'd for DDR3 (2 channel)...but the memory controller is on the GPU side of the die...??

What's funny is that they say they pushed back the release date due to customer feedback. I don't think so. I think they couldn't make it run to spec WITHOUT getting negative customer feedback or reviews.

LOL yeah I think the "customer feedback" they got was mostly along the lines of what Keith said below, "Intel IGP sucks in it's current form!!"

Whatever happens I hope it's better than Intel Extreme Crap graphics. I mean I hope it is capable of doing some 3d stuff in hardware. Intels IGP have always failed for games, somebody needs to get Intel to understand that there needs to be a minimum 3d performance spec. That games will run on it however slow at least games will run. It must have 3D hardware processing and none of this virtual crap and sythesized tat.
