Intel ships 32nm Sandy Bridge CPUs without GPU
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, January 31, 2012 - 10:44 PM N/A
Reported a couple of times altready, Intel now has ofiically added three new IGP-less Core i5 processors to its official price list.
The chips come with their GPUs disabled and can be identified by the model numbers 2550K, 2450P, and 2380P. That first CPU features a fully unlocked upper multiplier, so it's the one you'll want.
Versus the existing Core i5-2500K, the 2550K offers 100MHz increases in base and Turbo frequencies, bringing the chip up to 3.4GHz with a 3.8GHz Turbo peak. Those speeds match the Core i7-2600K, which offers additional cache and Hyper-Threading support missing from the i5 series. Intel is selling the 2550K at $225—$92 less than the 2600K and a $9 premium over the 2500K.

There is also the Sandy Bridge-E line which has no video subsystem. The Core i7 3820 should be under ~$300 USD when it starts to ship.
Still having the built in video of the typical Sandy Bridge CPU (that support it ) and not using it should not be a big deal. Just because my nVidia video cards have PhysX support doesn't mean I have to run out looking for PhysX titles or wish the support wasn't there if I don't want to be bothered with it. Its there, fine,,...meh,... |

In general yes, but there is an app out there that allows both - somebody in this forum posted about not too long ago. Workloads get sent to the device most appropriate. So in general, 3D workloads to your external card, Media loads to the Processor Graphics...

When I built my system (2500K w/ Z68 PCIe3), I tested out the onboard graphics. I was surprised how good it was. It is certainly no replacement for high-end dedicated graphics but it's way better than any previous integrated solution. FWIW, my CPU is equipped with HD3000 and, at least originally, the non-K version had HD2000.
Here's some data: »www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-···ested/11
The only thing at this point the integrated graphics do for me, though? Nothing except being there in case my card dies.
