Mom pls.

Imagine The Witcher 3, GTA V, Arma III and Minecraft running on ultra on the same time…
Smooth.

(I’m assuming) It wouldn’t do you that much good for gaming if you had a crappy graphics card.

Hah
Intel HD 3000 can run everything!

right?

EDIT: Actually I have a new laptop with HD 4600

Making a movie in after effects would literally be a breeze

Yeah, rendering entire Star Wars series in less than a day (12h)…
Ahh, future.
No wait, it’s @Today :open_mouth:

I’m rather excited about the upcoming Sparc M7. No application in consumer market, but still a really nifty bit of design.

Didn’t know Oracle develops CPUs.

I’m guessing this is a Xeon, 'cause the link doesn’t work for me I’m guessing.

It’s a good cpu, yes. I may be wrong but gaming is good with less but faster cores (correct me on that if I’m wrong please).

So, it could be good for rendering and streaming. Some games and other stuff as well.

It’s a processor for servers

Oracle inherited the SPARC line when it acquired SUN. Like ARM, Oracle is a fabless company and last I heard they used TSMC, after TI said they wouldn’t fab below 65nm.

Fun fact, the best for gaming right now is the 4790k. Not the i7-E’s, the basic, $300 Haswell i7.
