Nope, higher!

I guess this is a improvement for those that want to stay with intel Integrated graphics, but that's it. I think desktop SB isn't really that good, I can see this being good in a laptop though.
Just a general comment as I'm still learning this.
Huge computational power for what is essentially a mid line chip.
Much better clock for clock vs Nehalem,Westmere,etc..
I think once the BIOS matures that this will be one hell of a cruncher especially when you factor in price and did I mention that the electrical draw is incredibly efficient..
Yea, I think they have a winner here and a big one.

No ideas yet, well I do but not posting numbers..
