The presenting at the beginning of Clarkdale and Arrandale processors from Intel with integrated graphics subsystem belong to the generation Westmere, which introduced the technology of manufacture of 32nm.The next step for Intel is the Sandy Bridge, a new architecture based on this technology manufacturing. I still do not have enough information leaked about this architecture, however, during the year will be more and more details.Recently it became known that Sandy Bridge will support the simultaneous operation of up to four monitors.

While the generation Westmere the processor and graphics subsystem are separated in the packaging of CPU, the Sandy Bridge processor and GPU will be manufactured in the sameDie. Something similar does the AMD architecture with the Fusion.The difference with Intel is not integrated into a CPU unit, but two graphics.

A further issue for discussion is the parallel operation of multiple screens. The Clarkdale Arrandale and can support parallel operation of up to two monitors. The processors Sandy Bridge, but could support the simultaneous operation of up to four monitors.This will be possible via the USB and chipset (which is code-named Cougar Point), no further details have been revealed.

Finally the integrated graphics subsystem processor Sandy Bridge will support HDMI 1.3 and DisplayPort at resolutions up to 2.560×1.600pixels.
