dale, Re: "As I understand the situation, a graphics core often has analog circuitry." Not necessarily. You can take the raw digital signal and run it through a DAC off the chip. If it's frequency you are concerned about, remember that modern CPUs already have multiple clock domains on the chip. It would be quite easy to run the Timna graphics at a much slower speed than the CPU. But back to the original topic - how does the speed of the Timna chip due to integrated graphics being on die have anything to do with the designers' ability to engineer a high performance Banias? No one said that Banias will be having integrated graphics on the chip. wbmw
