    Is there anyone from NBR at CES that could get some more details from Intel about Sandy Bridge's mobile 6 series chipsets?

    The datasheets are up on Intel.com but there's no mention of any performance class 6 series mobile chipsets. The HM67, and HM65 are detailed but the PM6x isn't, and that's the chipset that usually supports dual-gpu notebooks.

    I'd like to know if dual-gpu support has been moved to the one of the HM6x chipsets, since, as I understand it, the desktop H67 doesn't have that support.

    i don't think that built in DRM is so very cool.
    what will they built in next? hidden cameras in your internet-connected tv, to spy on you?
    sorry - not to spy, but "to care for your security"...

    If you want hardware decryption to cut down on the software overhead then you need DRM. Blame US law.

    Its not there to put DRM on your stuff its there to allow streaming media from providers to play with out you worrying about Certs and plug-ins.

    I'm sorry, this may be a very silly question, but does built-in DRM mean that one will not be able to play non-DRM'd content? e.g. old rips from my cd's etc?

    Thanks!

    Sandy Bridge ,,,Oh heres Comes IVY BRIDGE

    Ivy Bridge is the codename given to the 22 nm die shrink of the Sandy Bridge architecture. According to the keynote speech presented by Paul Otellini during the 2010 Intel Developer Forum (IDF), Ivy Bridge processors may be introduced as early as the second half of 2011.[37] However, it now seems more likely that Ivy Bridge will be launched a year after Sandy Bridge, probably during CES 2012. Ivy Bridge will replace dual-core processors with quad-core processors at the entry level segment, while delivering eight-core processors for mainstream and higher-end level segments.[38]

    Ivy Bridge processors will employ a maximum of 24 EUs graphics sub-system (double that of Sandy Bridge)[39] and also provide DirectX 11 support, rather than the older DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3 graphics technology that will be featured in the first batch of Sandy Bridge processors, while retaining its LGA 1155 socket compatibility.[40]
