no interpreti bene..

e la risposta è no
non mi da quello di cui ho bisogno:

The new integrated graphics processor from Intel is undoubtedly a wide
step forward over the decrepit Extreme Graphics 2 core: much higher
performance, hardware support of DirectX pixel shaders, higher RAMDAC
frequency, support of multi-monitor configurations, HDTV video output to
appropriate displays and more.

On the other hand, the new Graphics Media Accelerator from Intel cannot
do full-screen antialiasing; its anisotropic filtering of the maximum 4x
level cannot be combined with tri-linear filtering; it doesn’t support
T&L or vertex shaders; the need to sort polygons for the tiles greatly
limits the speed in “high-polygon-count” scenes.

These facts suggest that Intel’s attitude towards integrated graphics
hasn’t changed in the slightest. The company only gives its graphics the
bare minimum of functionality. For example, the support of DirectX 9
pixel shaders in the new GPU is not an attempt to be better than the
competitors, but rather the compliance with the requirements to the
hardware that the next OS from Microsoft will produce.

Intel still doesn’t think it necessary to develop high-performance and
rich-functionality integrated graphics, capable of competing with cheap
standalone graphics cards. There’s no doubt that PCI Express versions of
inexpensive cards from ATI and NVIDIA, like RADEON X600/X300 and GeForce
PCX 5750/5300, will be faster than the new graphics core from Intel.

Anyway, integrated graphics has made a step forward as Intel brings us
support of DirectX 9. We’re waiting for responses from ATI with NVIDIA,
or maybe even from VIA with SiS. Stay tuned!
