The new series is not only a high raw performance, so as the Core i5-661 is the fastest dual-core processor on the market and then replacing the Core 2 E8600, but also a high overclocking potential and low power consumption. These are not the merely debuts, as all Clarkdale products also compete with an integrated graphics unit, as a result, is not as usual made by or on a motherboard prepared, but on the CPU itself by means of a multi-chip package (MCP) exist. This is the Clarkdale the first processor in the world, united in accumulation to a CPU, a GPU on the package. There is a lot new about the integrated graphics processor unit in Clarkdale is not able to report what one hand good, and on the other hand, a bad news. The good news is that Intel has invested the last time, including in the much-needed bug fixing. The bad news: At the unconvincing basic architecture has not changed much. The "Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD" on the Clarkdale-processor is manufactured in 45nm process and holds 177 million transistors. The GPU has not receive the modern 32-nm process donated as the CPU. The GPU has to make do with DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 (GMA 4500HD: OpenGL 2.0).
