Core i5 and i3 CPUs With On-Chip GPUs Launched 235
MojoKid writes "Intel has officially launched their new Core i5 and Core i3 lineup of Arrandale and Clarkdale processors today, for mobile and desktop platforms respectively. Like Intel's recent release of the Pinetrail platform for netbooks, new Arrandale and Clarkdale processors combine both an integrated memory controller (DDR3) and GPU (graphics processor) on the same package as the main processor. Though it's not a monolithic device, but is built upon multi-chip module packaging, it does allow these primary functional blocks to coexist in a single chip footprint or socket. In addition, Intel beefed up their graphics core and it appears that the new Intel GMA HD integrated graphics engine offers solid HD video performance and even a bit of light gaming capability."

I think the CPU lineup goes like this:
8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium, Athlon, umm not sure if there is anything faster than that.

It's just Schroedinger's processor. You have to watch it closely to permanently enable or disble VT.
