With the normal Intel Core CPUs, they seem to often have a huge amount of their chip area / transistors taken up by integrated graphics. Which could be a bit depressing if someone gets one and doesn't use the IGP.
- Vexs 10y agoIT seems to me a lot more enthusiast desktops are using xeon processors instead of cores, this being one of the reasons people are making the swap- you gain a lot of performance/$$ because loosing integrated graphics saves a fair amount of money. The average user still needs integrated graphics though, so I don't see the core ever going away. Who knows though, they might come out with some enthusiast grade core processors that don't have int graphics.
