Intel has problems with its video architecture?
Intel has already delayed its Centrino 2 architecture equipped with integrated video, it is now learned that they will also delay certain Nehalem processors. These products are Havendale (for office machines) and Auburndale (for portables), these are Nehalem processors equipped with two cores and also integrated video, a first for Intel. The goal was by putting the video in the same chip that the performance would improve while simplifying largely the structure of the mother boards, and this would have lowered the cost of the entry level machines.
Envisaged for the third quarters 2009, the Havendale will, in the final analysis, be available only at the beginning of 2010.
One can also wonder whether Intel made the choice to delay certain products in order to release the resources for others. Indeed, never has the founder been so aggressive and releasing so many products at the same time. AMD on the other hand is at the edge of the technical KO, they do not manage to follow in terms of innovation nor in term of power.
