but can it play crysis?

 

[little-ninja-man]

i have to ask why do so many people say can it play crysis because I find that GTA IV needs more power than crysis

I would have expected 32nm at this stage, maybe then they could put a real GPU in it! are they coming soon? Am I the only one who would pay more for the most awesomeness for the smallest form factor/power usage? like an ultra portable rather than a cheap netbook.

About time! I've been waiting for this for 2 years already!

Hey, anyone noticed they said "in 1 chip"(they actually meant on die), instead of the memory controller on die, while the graphics core was on chip?

In other words, the newer Atom processors will be close to a SOC that intel is trying to push for cellphones.!

Combine this with Larrafail, and Intel Corp. is really on a winning streak lately


(or, they're back to selling very incremental "netburst-like" performance increases at high-dollar prices).


I'll take a Sempron underclocked to 1ghz instead, please...

This would make for a nice NAS/File server.

Not necessarily, GTA IV is incredibly CPU limited. Bottle-necks like crazy.

 

[uh_no]

32nm isn't necessarily ready yet

 

[socrates047]

she talks funny.lol

really? surely an i7 would be able to handle it comfortably, otherwise its def shit coding.

You guy's haven't seen the benchs for ATMA2 have you?

Look at the first graph and look at the resolution and then the FPS for the i7 920 @3.5Ghz.

I laughed when she said "into *new* form factors" and showed an all in one design. Guess what Apple already has had for the last 5 years?

Nothing!
In fact,I don't even know if it has any at all laptop at 10" for under $1000!

I feel a bit underwhelmed by this, I was hoping for a bit longer battery life.

So if we take their stated 20% improvement on say, a 6 hour netbook, the battery life increases by 1.2 hours. Since they also included the term "average power" you could probably expect a realistic hour or less improvement in the final product.
