Intel Core 2010: Arrandale and Clarkdale

[21stHermit]

The standard Clarkdale will have to turn out 20-30% faster than the 9300 to be competitive with the upcoming Geforce 210/Radeon HD 4550 based IGPs. To be on par, it'll have to do 40-50% faster.

As has been said, long as it'll decode 1080p, play flash, and play older games at decent settings at low res, it'll be more than sufficient for 90% of personal machines. Guess what, it will do those things just fine.

I'm not really concerned with what the intel faithful have decided is acceptable, since it's intel making the gaming claims. Of course, as usual they are just lowering the bar and dictating what the world + dog should consider a good experience...

I think we are getting to the point where decent games on phones are even becoming possible. http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3695
