Intel is releasing a somewhat revolutionary processor - codename Clarkdale - to integrate CPU, memory controller, PCIe interface and, most importantly, 3rd generation integrated graphics on a single processor. Interestigly, the processor is not using a monolithic die, rather it features the 32 nm process Westmere dual core "CPU" along with an ancillary processor manufactured on a 45 nm process node and harboring the memory controller, peripheral interfaces and integrated graphics. On paper, the concept sounds intriguing, moreover, there are a number of highly advanced novel features, at least for the world of integrated graphics. Still some of the novel features like xvYCC have to be highly anticipated by anyone who loathes the shortcomings of current display output technology. After all, what good is a 128-bit internal color depth when the output is compressed to a mere 32-bit RGB gamut?
