    3.06GHz Clarkdale on apparently which looks like 1GB system memory gets 1944 in 3DMark06 at 1024x768 resolution. I'm thinking it should score around 1600 at the default benchmark setting of 1280x1024.

    In comparison, GMA X4500HD on the desktop gets ~1150 at 1280x1024 resolution.

    Clarkdale is the desktop brother of Arrandale.

    Thats a powerful CPU with a decent integrated VGA solution. Look at the CPU score...

    Still pretty weak. They probably just added a couple more shaders and increased the clock speeds a little. Meh..

    Can you find out if it supports DX11? If it beats NVIDIA and ATI to this in the mobile sector then i'd be more interested.

    Graphics score of the integrated gpu suck. Thanks to the cpu score.
    The cpu voltage is really impressive. Thanks to 32 nm.

    I'm expecting Turbo Mode equivalent on their CPU on the GPU part with Clarkdale/Arrandale.

    Combined with the fact that the 3.06GHz Clarkdale tested is not only preliminary results with unsupported drivers and immature hardware, but that 3.06GHz's IGP won't feature the fastest IGP, I expect the scores to be considerably better with the release version. The G45 went from 800 3DMark06 to 1100 with the final version.

    Essentially its:

    3.2/3.33/3.46GHz-"Best" IGP(probably highest clock)
    2.93/3.06GHz-"Better" IGP
    2.8Ghz-Baseline IGP

    Maybe I'm lost here, but what is impressive about 1944?
