We already reported that nehalem processors with the integrated graphic core will be presented in the mass price segment. Associates again met Intel representatives , responsible for development of strategies and decision making, and now it is possible to transfer the factors, which facilitate the migration of graphic core from the north bridge to the central processor.
We start from the transfer of memory controller in the central processor forces the graphic core to be nearer both these components, and from this the integration of graphic core in the processor appears to be a natural step to increase the effectiveness of integrated graphic system. Only with passage on 45 nm technical process Intel will obtain the possibility to integrate in the processor not only the memory controller , but also the graphic core, in this case after preserving the transistor budget within the economically expedient framework. As explained Intel representatives , the first generation nehalem processors with the integrated graphic core will have a monolithic crystal, there is no need for multi-chip packing in this case.
Finally, Intel make similar to AMD arguments in favor of the transfer of graphic core from chipset in the processor. The importance of multimedia tasks is raising and the appearance of processors with the developed graphic part opens the new ways for constructing the low cost universal system, which possesses contemporary functionality.
As explain Intel representatives the appearance of nehalem processors with the integrated graphic core will put end to the integrated chipsets . Graphic core will move to the processor, and the chipset role , in essence will be presented by the south bridge. In the desktop segment Intel will release only discrete chipsets, dividing them on price and functional development level .
