Hawell, the next 22nm microarchitecture from Intel, will pack a more powerful on-die GPU. Currently, Sandy Bridge has 12 execution units (EUs) and Ivy Bridge has 16 EUs. Haswell, which will be released around April 2013, will feature a 40 EU on-die GPU. With over double the amount of EUs compared to the HD 4000 within Ivy Bridge, users can expect significant gain in graphics performance. For instance, at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF 2012) in San Franciso, Intel shows that a HD 4000 on-die GPU is only capable of playing Skyrim at 1366×768 on medium settings, while Haswell’s new HD 5000 GPU is capable of playing Skryim at 1920×1080 on high settings.
This means that consumers who are looking to buy an Ultrabook or a notebook without a discrete GPU, will still be able to play current titles at decent settings. However, those of us with discrete GPUs within notebooks, or especially within desktops, will of course have better performance when compared to Haswell’s on-die GPU. Also, note that Haswell (Intel’s 4th generation “Core” branded processor) is suppodely going to be on a new socket, LGA 1150 and will be compatible with Z87 and H87 motherboards upon release.

Pretty nice performance. I wonder how trinity performs in comparison.
According this link:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a10-5800k-a8-5600k-a6-5400k,3224-17.html
AMD’s A10 5800K Trinity Processor got 25 FPS at 1980×1020 on medium settings. They did not specify the frames they were getting on Skyrim with Haswell, but since it ran smoothly at 1920×1080 on high seetting I’m going to have to assume it was around 30 FPS. So, Haswell’s GPU, according tot the link above, is a better performer. However, I’m sure AMD will have another lineup of APUs in stock for us before Intel releases their next processor.
Odd. I remember seeing the damn thing multitasking in the exhibition with dirt playing fluidly on one end and some encoding or something going on on the other screen. Hell knows lol
