Fourth Generation Intel Core Designed For Gaming
It appears that the fourth generation Intel Core, which is also known as Haswell, will outperform previous versions in gaming, according to a statement by Intel during the Game Developers Conference.
Tools or extensions will also be available for software developers to enhance the performance of the upcoming chip when it comes to processing special effects. The first tool, PixelSync, will give programmers the capability of rendering realistic hair, windows, smoke, fences, foliage, and similar complicated natural events and geometric shapes.
According to Clive Moody of Codemasters Racing, Grid2 artists have been asking for this kind of effect for some time already. It is not easy to accomplish the effect at a practical cost. He added that they are excited about the possible extensive adoption of the fourth generation Intel Core in millions of PCs.
An industry watcher indicated that the limitations on the memory and the memory bandwidth on Haswell will make it necessary for Intel to look for a smaller footprint. This will allow it to effectively use the Order Independent Transparency. The Order Independent Transparency feature will be enabled by the PixelSync tool.
Another feature that was announced by Intel was the InstantAccess feature that facilitates access into data located in the graphics processing unit and central processing unit of the fourth generation Intel Core processor or the Haswell.
Total War: Rome II developers are anticipating that the feature will make sure that the game will run smoothly when it is played in any computer, whether an ultrabook or a fully-loaded desktop.
Two other enhancements that be offered for the fourth generation Intel Core processor or the Haswell by summer are graphics and battery life.
