Intel vs. AMD in 2011, the battle in the charts on-board

Talk to the processor so the two could not be separated from this brand: Intel and AMD. Both compete from the beginning until now to be leading and best-selling. In terms of both technologies are very mature now with modern architecture 32nm, high clock (about 3 GHz) and of course multi-core (between two to four cores). However, a somewhat overlooked of our attention is the ability of on-board graphics are presented both, because we are already looking at the shadow side eye graphics capability integrated in the processor. And now both Intel and AMD have done major improvements in improving the on-board graphics capability on the new processor, with performance that can beat even a separate graphics card.

Sandy Bridge is Intel with its first popular as a high-performance processors with high power efficiency. This time as a representative of my present Intel Sandy Bridge processors are affordable Intel Core i3-2100 with dual core, hyper threading speed 2.93 GHz with a TDP of 65 Watt. $ 1.2 million of these processors already have an Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics with 850 MHz clock which already supports DirectX 10.1 and Open GL 3.0 and equipped with 6 EU (Execution Units). For Sandy Bridge processors are more expensive to have 4 cores, turbo feature, and using the HD 3000 graphics with 12 EU. No confusion, Execution Units EU or just another name of the Stream Processor only. Intel HD graphics itself is another name of the GMA HD, the most modern GPU Intel GMA 900 since ancient era. Speed ​​of the memory data rate has now reached 21 GB / s soaring far than GMA 900 that only 3 GB / s and slightly above the GMA 4500 with 17 GB / s. GMA test scores meaning that HD is able to match the performance of graphics cards such as Radeon HD 5450 or GeForce GT 430.
As boardnya already quite a lot of available options with a new socket LGA 1155 with the sixth-generation chipsets like P67, H67 and H61. Modern architecture 32nm chip already supports dual channel DDR3, USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb / s.AMD Llano: the concept of APU-powered Radeon HD 6000On the other hand AMD also have prepared a pledge to fight Intel by presenting a platform with Llano APU (Accelerated Processing Units) cored fastest Radeon HD. AMD Llano when new posts are made available only two series of A6 and A8-3650-3850. As a comparative material I prefer the AMD-3650 A6 which happen to have the same price with Intel i3-2100 is 1.2 million dollars. AMD Llano A6 and A8 are the latest AMD processors with four cores, using a new socket called FM1 (905 pin) so it is not compatible with such a long socket AM2 AM3 even. AMD Llano A6 has a 2.6 GHz clock, while the A8 has a 2.9 GHz clock. AMD Llano architecture is designed in 32 nm with a TDP of 100 Watts. The key features of AMD Llano is worn chip Radeon HD 6000 series graphics with 600 MHz clock on the A8 (Radeon HD 6550D) and 443 MHz on the A6 (Radeon HD 6530D) that supports DirectX 11 and Open GL 4.1 first in the world are found on a processor chip . Remarkably, the number of EU (called AMD Radeon cores) in the AMD Llano very much, reaching 320 EU (for A6) even 400 EU (for the A8) so that the performance of AMD's Llano graphics are far superior to Intel HD graphics up to two-fold increase in test scores.As a board with a chip chipset available at an affordable A55 and A75 are high performance, both carrying the single-chip design with an integrated memory controller. The new chip supports dual channel DDR3, USB 3.0 and SATA 6 x 6 Gb / s (for chip A75).
