WHAT if you are a gamer or photographer who has a huge amount of files and want to work smoothly without having to install any graphics card on your PC? Chip maker Intel is making this possible with Intel HD Graphics, one of the new features with Intel’s second generation Core processor family — the Core i7, i5 and i3.
Intel Malaysia country manager of sales and marketing Prakash Mallya says the processors combine visual and 3-D graphics technology on a single chip, using a “visibly smart” micro architecture. With this, consumers can enjoy significant graphics performance for both HD media processing and mainstream gaming. The new processor graphics technology focuses on the main areas of computing such as HD video, photos, gaming, multi-tasking, online socialising and multimedia.
Another interesting feature is a new technology called WiDi 2.0, where users can beam HD content to their HDTV from their PCs or notebooks, wirelessly. With Intel Quick Sync Video meanwhile, one can create and edit videos faster — at home and online — without the need for additional hardware. For example, a four-minute HD video that used to take four minutes to convert to play on an iPod, will now just take 16 seconds to process.
Intel Southeast Asia’s director Debjani Ghosh says the second generation Core processor family is aimed at giving users more speed and power to enjoy a richer media experience. Compared to the previous generation processors, the new chips allow consumers to create content up to 42 per cent larger and play games up to 50 per cent faster.

For those who are into HD, 3-D entertainment, features like Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), Intel InTru 3-D and Intel Clear Video technology allow for better picture and sound quality. Intel has also enhanced the chips processing capability with Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to enable users to accomplish tasks faster.
“This feature automatically reallocates the processor core and graphics resources to accelerate performance to give users immediate performance boost when and where it’s needed,” says Prakash. The new processor is already available in more than 500 desktop and notebook PCs from major brands.
