Integrated Graphics in Intel processors can not meet the needs of gamers, but it conforms to the needs of office tasks. Intel company decided to use this chip in the segment of entry-level workstations.
The new graphics core was designated as Intel HD P3000. It will be integrated into Sandy Bridge processors and Ivy Bridge ( series Xeon E3-1200 ). An important difference between HD P3000 from the integrated graphics segment is the certification of office compatibility with the software used on workstations.
According to the results in Adobe Photoshop, Cinebench 11.5 R2 and 3DMark Vantage, Intel development product is inferior to NVIDIA. Note that adding a Quadro FX 580 in the configuration of workstation costs about $ 180.
