Intel introduced a new processor architecture at this year's Consumer Electronics Show dubbed Sandy Bridge, the second generation of the company's Core-i series CPUs. The new chips sport an integrated graphics processor that is powerful enough to compete with mid-range video cards, eliminating the need for consumers to also invest in a pricey display adapter for their new computers.

Quote from the review at HardOCP: “NVIDIA has put themselves in an awkward situation with the 5900XT.
