HD turbo boost in laptop near you


Arrandale, the dual core CPU with a 32nm core and 45nm stitched graphics will ship under the Core i5 and Core i7 brands, but in some cases it will even sport a Celeron brands. The first of them should arrive in January time.

Its graphics part just got a new name. Intel plans to call Arrandale graphics part Intel HD graphics. While we are quite sure that Arrandale notebooks can cope well with HD content, they will continue the tradition of being the worst thing possible solution for playing any computer games. (Minesweeper excluded. sub.ed.)

The nice touch for Intel HD graphics is that the graphics die will be able to automatically overclock on the fly, which might give you a tad faster graphics.

Arrandale does looks like the best notebook chip of all times, but it won't come cheap. Still, we see Arrandale 32nm core as a good choice for people who want to buy a notebook in 2010.
