You are way too desperate these days. And its fun joking with you :)
You need to move it down to the Atom series before US15/GN40. But again, I´m sure they all got bluray drives or 25mbit+ for streaming HD on their 1920*1080 screens.
You are so exigent with AMD but with Intel every crap rules.Quote:

With Quad-Core + G35 CPU utilization goes up to 40%.
With an ancient core 2 duo they can go up to 90%:

So we have a bunch of crap performance and crap image quality for your superb G35

That is bad marketing, from a final consumer point of view, it does not make any difference, except that you tried for take some $ out their pockets for something useless ...
When you play blue ray, you rarely do anything else, and if you do ... well, Get a Core i7, that will accelerate more than getting anything else.
:shrug: you got to see through all the cheap marketing of the gpu vendors ...
CPU utilization is not always important ... Especially in video playback.
Frankly, I agree with you. While Intel IGP's are "bad," it doesn't really matter if it's 40% or 20% CPU usage in that scenario.
Unfortunately, as long as you work for Intel you'll never be right in some people's minds.
Not saying Intel IGP's are great btw, just that they perform fine for their target market.

Are you thereby insinuating that the G35 is better at HD decoding than the G45 - because it keeps the CPU churning?Quote:

yes, cause more stressful video will not be able to run properly if they are cpu dependant
Depends on how powerful the CPU is. Not everyone owns a E8xxx series to handle the high stress from the IGP.Quote:

I have to agree with Francois.
Some people need to step out of their high-end enthusiast benchmarking bubble for a few. The Intel IGPs aren't great, but it's enough for the targetted market and that is what really matters.
The customers that buys this hardly don't even know the difference between AMD and Intel, they just want a computer that can do *this* and *that* thus the seller gives them a point in the right direction.
In the end, they didn't buy a Intel or AMD platform, they baught a "HP" or "Fujitsu-Siemens" or "Dell" :rolleyes:
Point is, the avarage Joe doesn't give a damn if he's CPU is being utilized to 100% when playing HD-quality movies, as long as it's working properly. In which the G35 and G45 can complete its task. Yes AMD/Nvidia gives a "better" solution to HD, and also to games at lower settings, but for this market it simply doesn't matter.
Also GPUs... Everyone aren't pumping max resolution, max settings 8xAA/AF, when the little kid with a computer notices the game simply doesn't run at absolute max settings, he will simply lower it too meet hes demands. So everyone doesn't need GTX295/HD4870X2 in Quad-mode to be satisfied.
Yeah I am a fullbreed AMD fanboy there you have it Francois :ROTF:
man o man, the turns some of these threads take.
I love this tests... especial when you play both videos next to each other, you don't notice the slightests difference. :ROTF:Quote:

you just made the statement that due to the bad merging decisions from a company the hw provider is the one that has the gap, yes intel cpu with intel gpu.
the reduced specifications on the well known OS works in 2 ways.
1) the crappy hw provider is not to be blamed for there bad design.
2) the SW provider can sell a lot more if they reduce the minimum specifications to a level of the most sold IGP.
I wonder what your response will be if we bring up the Atom design and the responsibilities there. That is the only reason for the increased intel market share, not for example the g45 that finally got a bit better.
did you ever test any image quality? We have a testing team here at work that consists of 10 people doing nothing then testing image display quality there sure is a difference between all these gpu's and it is very strong if you have a decent screen to view it.Quote:

(And it doesn't really matter if it's Blu-Ray or not, it matters if it's H264)
But the Atoms DO play it.Quote:

care to prove your statement with some real data?Quote:

Just a shame they both used the same. Reading ftw. Extra filters will always add extra load.Quote:

yeah a real shame you can't trust reviews anymore. Now who's the "kid" inhere, the only thing you are good at is reading and posting about it (we already know you lack showing :D ), now i do wonder how you actually read articles.Quote:

Most desktops, notebooks and netbooks based on Atom don’t use the US15 chipset; they use 945G and 945G lacks this hardware decode acceleration support
Shifting the topic from HD playback to DVD playback... You just made that up out of pressure, didn't you?Quote:
