In a move that casts yet another shadow over Intel’s ability to craft a decent integrated GPU, the engineers from Santa Clara were caught cheating at its CES 2012 press conference last night. Mooley Eden, the general manager of Intel’s PC group, was on stage to show off the the DirectX 11 capabilities of Ivy Bridge’s HD Graphics 2500 GPU — but instead of actually driving a lap in F1 2011, Eden cheated and pressed play on a pre-rendered video in VLC.As you can see in the video below, the VLC control panel pops up, and the car continues to drive itself after Eden leaves the steering wheel (causing the astute audience to laugh). Curiously, according to some sources, Eden then went on to state — in front of press and financial analysts — that the demo was running live from an Ivy Bridge chip. Intel has since issued an official statement, admitting that Eden used a video “for expediency.”It’s not a question of whether Intel cheated at the CES press conference, then, but how badly Intel cheated. Is the video a recording of an Ivy Bridge integrated GPU playing F1 2011, or is it another GPU entirely? Intel’s official statement says that Ivy Bridge runs DX11 “extremely well” — but then why did Eden fudge his way through the demonstration and then lie about it afterwards? If Intel is happy to admit, via a spokesperson, that they used a pre-rendered video — why didn’t Eden tell the audience before the demo?

Meanwhile, the Bulldozer was over-hyped and a let down.
True but it wasn't their fault it was the fanboys.
maybe if more software was multithreaded where the new amd CPU could shine alittle the cpu might not look so bad. The new amd APU really don't look so bad to me for general use puter,htpc.
