Intel GFX X4500 HD - Any info?

[iwod]

They Promise 2x the performance from a Intel 965.

Any one knew if it is still the same old architectures?

Probably have just finally got a working driver with VS support.

too many X's and HD's.

So you're saying the new XHD 9800 GTX XXX HD edition isn't a good name? Damnit, someone get marketing up here! We need to do another focus group...

The basic architecture is still of the X3x00. It now has 10 Execution Units, hardware CABAC engine. Lots of the performance increase seems to be the additional EUs and significantly higher memory bandwidth.

The 2x advantage is comparing mobiles BTW. It's comparing the GM47 chipset against the GM965 chipset. GM45 is the regular one with 533MHz clock and GM47 has 640MHz clock. GM965 has 500MHz clock.

1.7x is the performance advantage Intel quotes for GMA X4500 desktop against the G35.

It is said as Gen 5, compared to Gen 4 for the X3000/X3100/X3500.

-2x faster hardware Vertex Processing performance over Gen 4
-DVMT of >512MB on 2GB memory
-Performance of 32 bit Trilinear filtering and 16bpp Float bilinear performance is 2x
-Gen 5 support 16-bit UNORM Rendering
-Still single sampled rendering, no AA
