Acording to leaked HP slides that we found in engadget, HP is going to release at least two new Pavilion PC models in early 2010 (Q1), both based on the new Intel Clarkdale cores and ATI Mobility radeon graphics gards.
What we found interesting is that they are based on ATI Radeon HD5350 and (Evora Cedar) and HD5570 (Jaguar) graphics cards, and there are some details about one of them that seem disturbing. HD5350 will include 1 GB of video memory and HDMI, DVI and VGA ports and it will be out during CES, but the HD5570 will include 2 GB of memory, which we find rather pointless. It will also feature DisplayPort (not that someone cares about it today) and it will come around in February. What we don’t like is the trend to put huge frame buffers on those low end graphics cards, because it leads many unsuspecting people to believe the card is better because of having more memory. It’s a major issue even today with low end cards, and HD5570 is a low end card…
According to the information engadget released, Core i3 will not have Turbo Boost technolgy (as expected) and Core i5 will include some AES-encription accelerating instructions, even though you need programs that are designed to take advantage of the AES algorithm to use it.
