As the first processor to have its graphics core right beside it, Clarkdale can be a bit underwhelming when it comes to its key feature - graphics. Of course, expectations should be lowered instantly on seeing its 0'integrated' nature, more so when the gr...
From a pure performance perspective, the CoreI5 661 gives us a lot to be delighted about – not just that, but since it’s a 32nm process, the overclocking potential on this chip should be very good. I plan on looking into this in a future mothe...

Questionable Pricing, IGP Still Not Great For 3D Gaming, Confusing Naming Scheme
When working in conjunction with its integrated Intel HD Graphics engine, the Core i5 661 also performs well, and compares favorably to AMD's top-of-line Phenom II, when it's paired to the AMD 785G IGP. Although AMD's platform pulled ahead in the low-res...
Abstract: Intel Core i5-661 Performance PreviewFor a little over a year now, Intel’s been slowly phasing out Core 2, one of their most successful CPU architectures of all time. The process started in November 2008 with the introduction of Intel’s f...
Clarkdale might be a mainstream processor, but it's easily one of the most interesting we've ever taken a look at here at Techgage. Likewise, putting together this launch article required a lot more work than what's typical, because we had so many new...

The Core i5 661 and DH55TC motherboard proved to be a potent combination when tested in its environment. Even in the testing used here at OCC, it delivered decent results by comparison. If you are thinking of using the on-chip GPU as your primary grap...
Intel has once again raised the bar for the mainstream market with the Core i3-500 and i5-600 processors. Nehalem performance for under $125 and "power on demand" is great news anyone feeling that their PC is just not up to par anymore. ...
We have Westmere parts in our hands (a bit earlier than we expected last year) with Clarkdale and while I am impressed to see the technology working, the processor really fills a specific market segment. The most specific thing I can say to a potential b...

I was shocked when I opened the box and pulled out the DH55 motherboard. I was looking for the graphics chipset on the board and there wasn't one. Sometimes even when you are aware that something has changed, it takes a while to sink in. Intel has tak...
After hearing AMD talk for years about the Fusion CPU + GPU concept being the future of computing, it's a bit surprising that Intel is the first one out of the gate with a product to market. However, we will take it any way we can get it. Mind you, it...
