AMD RS880 IGP 15 Percent Faster
AMD's upcoming chipset with integrated graphics, codenamed RS880 is said to feature a significantly faster integrated graphics processor (IGP), which is about 15 percent faster than the current RS780. While technically it is derived from the AMD RV610 core with some tweaked clock-speeds, it will get the brand name ATI Radeon HD 4200. With 1800 points in 3DMark06, this IGP is as powerful as GeForce 6800 GT a high-end graphics accelerator from the DirectX 9 generation. In today's setting the score isn't exactly spectacular, but makes it highly competitive with IGPs from rival NVIDIA. The chipset will make a formal debut this August.

Desktop IGP chips are getting much better all the time, sad the mobile lag sucks so much.
budget gamers can really benefit from this with Hybrid Xfire
was 6800 ultra v's X800 :p
ok ok, so the time I got around to CS:S I had 7600GTs in SLI
I think I was on deployment when it was released then I built a new rig
What we really need is for the intel IGPs to see like a 50% performance increase and reduce the number of old IGP chipsets intel is shipping. AMD is leading by example perhaps, but intel controls a lot of the market and really decides where the IGP performance sits. Perhaps the i5s will offer a decent igp.
RV610? That cant be right? The entire Radeon HD 3000 series IGPs were RV610. I thought the Radeon HD 4200 would have a RV620 GPU? Also any word on Hybrid Crossfire?
If you mean assisting blu ray decoding properly, then yes. all the onboards recently can do that fine (ATI seem to be better than nv and intel with this)
if you mean HD content, as in MKV files and such - no, you're screwed. there are no codecs out there that can do this yet.
