IDF 2010: Sandy Bridge in Action with a 3D Blu-ray via HDMI 1.4

Here at DigitalVersus we're particularly picky about picture quality. We were therefore only too happy to don a pair of 3D glasses to see just what Intel's Sandy Bridge had to offer.

Sandy Bridge is a new processor architecture developed by Intel, and has full support for 3D Blu-ray discs thanks to its IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) and HDMI 1.4 compatibility. While NVIDIA has recently released a select few graphics cards compatible with this connection and AMD is about to the same with its HD 6000 series, due to be rolled out in October, Intel looks ready and raring to go, with 3D-compatibility a rmajor selling point for its new processor architecture.


We had a chance to see Sandy Bridge in action at the IDF, where a laptop PC equipped with an Intel Sandy Bridge processor was hooked up to a 3D TV (active technology with LCD glasses) via an HDMI cable. Needless to say, the action was smooth and seamless.

The future looks pretty bright for 3D-compatibility in PCs!
