The introduction of the Core i series 32nm processors has brought in a good news for the ever increasing Indian gaming market. According to Nasscom, the gaming segment was estimated to be at around $300 million in 2009. The Core i-series launched on Jan 8 has three versions of processors-i3, i5 and i7.
Intel has integrated the 'HD graphics' technology inside the processor, which will enable casual games to run much faster than the existing processors in the market. "The HD graphics integrated for the first time on the CPU will not only make games play around 50 percent faster than our old processors, it will also make gaming a great visual experience. This technology has the potential to change the face of gaming in India, which is majorly a market for casual gaming. People in India will never buy a laptop only for gaming purposes, but with the default integrated graphics card on the CPU, a casual gamer can get a good gaming experience," said MY Udaysimha, Gaming Program Manager, Intel APAC.
The new processors also support 3D gaming without the need for an in-video card and offer full support for the new Microsoft Windows 7. The launch of the i-series chips also coincides with the arrival of Intel's new 32nm manufacturing process which will be used to immediately produce and deliver processors and features at a variety of price points. R Ravichandran, Director-Sales, Intel South Asia added, "These smart processors adapt to an individual's needs, automatically providing a 'boost of performance' for everyday applications. They become energy efficient to the point of shutting down processing cores or reducing power consumption to provide performance, when people need it or not."
