[Hornet331]

Since its listed under asia section its quite a concern for all those koreans...

[Tao~]

Gosh! , it CAN play Sims 3 and WoW , why did they miss out CS/CS:S

PS: I hope this list isnt of those games that WILL work, not like you get a big black screen in others as seen in most of the tests with H55 IGPs

[bladerash]

lol.. world of warcraft..
maybe when u play with 3 or 4 ppl..
Try again with a 40 man raid.

[Starscream]

So all those games on that list are top mainstream games?

[randomizer]

World of Warcraft isn't playable at all, unless you slow down your brain.

[kromosto]

i just cant get what intel trying to prove.

i just cant get what intel trying to prove.

...that ION sucks?

[cegras]

"Top Mainstream Game"

"Lego Indiana Jones"

Heavy says: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYES!

[Blacky]

lol intel still failing on graphics no wonder they cancelled LRB

[[XC] Lead Head]

I used to play Brood War on a Trident 9680 with 512KB of RAM. I'd at least hope a modern IGP could play that

[krogen]

This is such a fail advertisement.

[Spectrobozo]

some PCs from almost 15 years ago can to!

[Serra]

Is "Pro Cycling Manager 2009" really a top game? I barely understand football games makes all the top US charts, but Pro Cycling?

Anyway, yes, fail advertising from Intel on this one.

[massman]

I can play Fifa 2009 with this new technology?

Amazing!

[god_43]

intel igp's - theerre grrreeaatt!

tony the tiger.

[haylui]

Intel couldn't do well other than X86
including their SSD
lolz

[BatteryOperated]

I am a strange sort of fellow; my humour is a bit different.
So, when I read threads dripping with sarcasm and embarasing advertisements featured in the headline, my mind begins to wander.

For example, the Mola Ram character from "The Temple of Doom" movie proudly proclaims that "soon, we will have all the five Shankara stones, and the Thuggees will be all powerful," to which Indiana Jones replies "What a vivid imagination." I pretend the Mola Ram character is an Intel spokesman proclaiming the virtues of the new IGP.

We bring you the most amazing product ever, you can play some games at 800x600 on the lowest quality settings with it

yeah right ever checked what a normal resolution is today?

Yeah, it would be (mostly) unbelievable if the S3 graphics chip on my 100 MHz Pentium Socket 7 motherboard would still be able to play something that Intel's newest IGP can't

[Drwho?]

Let's be clear, if you want to play high end game, use a GFX card ... but keep in mind that only 8% of the PC sold are used for games, and only 10% of the 8% play high end games ... Intel iGFx is getting more capable, this is a good new, you ll probably surprise when you OC it
This iGFx will be good enough for most of the people, and if you want to play high end game, buy a GFX card. The principal goal of intel is to provide PCs for every body on this planete, and to do so, we can't have every body running 200Watt GFX cards. a 200watts time the number of PCs needed for everybody on earth would be an ecological catastrophie. 0.8% of the people do what you people do here, so, please try to see this side of the story too.
(I expect to be flamed, as usual, but it is good to give the explanation for those interested into the Math behind all of this)

I am not intended to flame you but AMD and Nvidia come out better graphic solution (and those are cheap one) currently
I don't think Intel's motherboard without graphic processor build in cost $30 more expensive than the one without, especially new chipset for i3 & i5 with
graphic output. i3 & i5 with iGP would be more ideal for notebook segment but it doesn't really make sense for desktop
At least, when AMD is offering much better IGP solution than Intel does.

I think you will be surprise on this ... not much longer to wait

But with Gameboy Color (sorry DS) level graphics!

Actually no, we have now Regina, a semi-Pro gamer in the performance lab that spend/spent her time figuring out what playable means, and putted minimum visual requirement.
No bad surprise!
