Thread: The graphics of the Intel Core i5-661

It's only a few days ago that the chip giant Intel West mere architecture has implemented the revised. We have the traditional processor-Part of the new CPUs already viewed a detailed review and came to a predominantly positive result.

Thus, the new series is not only a high raw performance, making as the core for the i5-661 dual-core processor on the market and the fastest Core 2 E8600 replaces there, but also a high over clocking potential and low power consumption. The last two points thanks to the Clark dale-processors including an improved power saving mechanism, but also the advanced 32-nanometer manufacturing, from a main processor used is Intel the first time.

These are not the only premieres, as all Clarkdale products also contend with an integrated graphics unit, therefore, is not as usual made by or on a motherboard ready, but on the CPU itself by means of a multi-chip package (MCP) exist. This is the Clarkdale the first processor in the world, united in addition to a CPU, a GPU on the package.

While our launch review has taken care primarily about the CPU part, now an account of the GPU section. How, then, the graphics unit proposed in Clarkdale? To find out, we not only have the new Core i5-661-H55 invited, including a board in our test lab. This must also prove to the direct predecessor in the G45 chipset and against a GeForce 9300 board from Zotac on a Core 2 E8600.
