Details on new Intel processors which will feature built-in graphics power

thats fine but can it play crisys? if yes il have one
 
Great stuff. Again, just as we're getting used to one socket....in comes the next one. Too bad for the people who bought socket 1156 systems.
 
so this new core series, is it a whole new socket type or is compatible with current 'i' series motherboards? or???

I checked online and it's still "i" series, but socket 1155, not 1156 like the current models. Because of that little fact you're going to have to get a new motherboard. The pin 1 on the 1155 is not the same as on 1156, so they won't be interchangeable.
 
intel graphics cards suck, this will be fine for watching a video, but I doubt you can play crisis on it

So how many times do you change CPUs? I only upgrade my CPU once every 2 - 3 years, so i always include a new motherboard.

Well I've had the same CPU for almost 4 years now, but I work in IT distribution. It's always a headache having to explain the new stuff to the laymen out there.

I agree yes, for work it is a slep everytime they change the pin layout.
