DigiTimes: Intel to launch Haswell on March 2013

I hope this will not be another generation of CPU's focused mostly on the more mobile devices. Having a GPU on CPU is fine for a laptop/ultrabook etc. But I don't seen the use for them in high end desktops. I want more pure CPU power damned!!

it'll be more and more useful in the future

also i find it funny how AMD tries to match intel's CPU power and intel tries to match AMD's GPU perf

New video and graphics features of Haswell CPUs - CPUWorld

Haswell chips may have one of the three graphics controllers: GT1, GT2 or GT3, aimed at entry-level, mainstream, and performance graphics respectively (...) The GT3 controller can have up to 40 execution units, however we don't know exact number. (...) The GPU now supports DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 3.2 and OpenCL 1.2 APIs. According to Intel, average performance of the Haswell GT1 unit is 15% - 25% better than performance of Ivy Bridge GT1, and Haswell GT2 is also 15% - 25% faster than IVB GT2. GT3 graphics has 50% - 100% better performance than performance of Ivy Bridge GT2 GPUs.
