Intel's forthcoming next-generation laptop chips will contain a dozen new characteristics to get better graphics presentation and will be capable to play Blu-ray 3D movies, the according to intel. Laptops with processors based on the Sandy Bridge architecture will play Blu-ray 3D movies whereas conserve battery life, stated Nick Knupffer, an Intel spokesperson. Customers won't require purchasing a separate graphics processor to specially view 3D content.

Sandy Bridge chips are accepted to go into manufacture shortly this year, Knupffer stated. Company officials have stated that PCs with the new chips might hit store in the first half of next year. The corporation is expected to make clear on Sandy Bridge's graphics presentation at the forthcoming Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Intel's graphics development comes from superior levels of assimilation and the addition of specialized accelerators to decode video, analysts stated.

Intel for the initial time will put together the CPU and graphics processor on a single chip, stated Nathan Brookwood, main analyst at Insight 64. The present invention of chips based on the Westmere architecture has the microchip and graphics core on one portion of silicon, but as detach units.
