			<description><![CDATA[Try lowering your vcore to around 1.1v or 1.2v (the AthlonII's have very high default vcore) or get a low power CPU and you'll see that 55w drop to 20-30w. Now, quit bitchin' and go do eet!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote name="Bl0bb3r"]@jeffkro, AMD's IGP use around 10W in load and 1W in idle. It's a far better solution anything-wise than what Intel has to offer. Hey proof is in the pudding. I have a athlon II X2 with 785G. It has a system idle of about 55W. I here people with core i3 systems that idle around 25W. My system works great for HTPC but it would be nice to have lower power, its on 24-7.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Bl0bb3r, saying "nobody is excited about Sandy Bridge" is too categoric, first because I am (that's at least 1 person :P), second because there's the perspective for laptop users that it should appreciably improve battery life, which was lacking in the previous generation. For example I appreciate the perspective of being able to watch movies in 1080p or playing older games with the discrete GPU disabled while being on travel. This is a valuable reason for me. But if you want to play on words... sure the desktop part is not really as "exciting".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[cpu is the most power aware device on a system. moving gpu to cpu will infact help things. atleast in theory. :) but igp on cpu will not have noticable saving on desktop. but on laptop, we can expect long betti life but i have to add, adding the worst igp in the market to the best cpu is rather pointless. because those who only need igp wont need a powerfull cpu like i7. n those who get i7, 90% of them get a gpu in hiher mainstream or better. but SB is a good prospect for i3. igp on i5 is pointless to me]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@jeffkro, AMD's IGP use around 10W in load and 1W in idle. It's a far better solution anything-wise than what Intel has to offer. @Mr T, I see you've missed guideX's point... it's not about him talking about AMD on and Intel article, it's about you thinking there is anybody "actually excited about sandy bridge" and I'm sorry to say this, but no, no-one besides you is excited! Interested, yes... it brings some new internal changes to the table plus and instruction set that probably won't be used in the next 5 years, but other than that, there's no point in getting excited when needing to shell out more cash for only an "update" of the Core isomething platform without backwards compatibility.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[An integrated graphics core is mainly good for casual users and power savings. It is a better solution than having onboard graphics located on the mobo for power savings and maybe a slight bump in performance. The power savings should be a nice battery saving feature for laptops or always on computers. My understanding is that Nvidia was looking at ways to shut down discrete graphics when not required, allowing for power saving and high performance gaming.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm sorry guideX did I hurt your delicate feelings by not talking about AMD in an intel news ? Here, have a kleenex. Just saying the performance will have a nice boost that makes it more than sufficient for most non-gaming and non-professional uses. Sounds good for most users, too bad intel won't give the option for those who don't care about it. I honestly don't care about the rest of your post and you ranting over amd vs intel.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are you joking? ever heard of GPU's just being on the motherboard? It exists and AMD does it brilliantly. There is no point if Intel does it, AMD will get price/performance because they are actually good with GPU's whereas Intel will just overcharge for a uselessly powerful CPU (core i7) and a relatively terrible, inefficient GPU.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are plenty of reasons to be, especially if you're a casual user (which is 9 people out of 10) that doesn't need a discrete GPU but can make use the integrated one. It's a great thing for the average buyer. You would also be able to turn off your GPU while using your computer for films, internet browsing or less demanding tasks. For mobile users too there are plenty of great improvements. Quad core clocks are given a very nice boost, integrated GPU allows for the use of Optimus or ATI equivalent solutions, that coupled with other power saving mechanisms makes Sandy Bridge one of the most exciting novelty since long for laptop users. As for performance forecasting, most of it is speculation. But we do know at least it'll benefit from higher clocks and AVX.]]></description>
