Intel tries to fool people at CES and gets caught. CES 2012: Intel demos DX11 on Ivy Bridge based Ultrabook - YouTube

:mrgreen:



:lol:

The embarassing thing is, that guy still pretends to be playing. And not to mention the fact that video froze too.

Meanwhile at AMD..... Impressive laptop Trinity demo

[Intel did manage to run 'ok' later after Anandtech persuaded. But still lol, Intel are cheating idiots.

:lol:

He was just trying to tell that combination of there intel cpu ang gpu can still play only the recorded hd videos from systems quipped with nvidia or ati. In short their gpus still far behind in the race just like his c**p acting performance on stage in front of public.

"It is out of my hand at all because they are driving it from backstage"

tch. Now some people will make an article "How ultrabooks will kill the notebook"- similar to how some people who the same thing about desktops when notebooks came in the 90s and about low end notebooks when netbooks came and recently in Digit how tablets will kill netbooks.

One more thing : I own a G27 & that steering wheel is so tight to rotate when you leave the wheels. Check 0:56, he just leaves it & the steering rotates in the direction on which he leaves.

EPIC FAIL !..........

He should have used Windows Media Player and used play/pause keyboard shortcut.
If the video was not playing on WMP, he should have installed a codec package :p

LOL nice find. Atleast they should had tested that video before the demo. Video stopped and guy is still playing, he sure is a dedicated gamer. :D:p
