Comments on ‘Intel previews integrated DirectX 10 graphics core’

missing crucial information 

Guys, when you compare things it really helps to know the value of one of the things being compared. If I tell you my sister is 3x as old as my niece, it means nothing unless I tell you my niece is 10.

So if this new chipset is going to get 3x the benchmarks of the old one, maybe you could remind us of the old one's marks? Also throw in a quick reminder of what current top-end nVidia & ATI parts are doing.

Then the article will actually tell us something. If 20000 is a good score and the current parts are getting 3000, we know it's a half-baked attempt. If current parts are getting 8000 then the "3x" claim becomes very interesting (and probably unsubstantiated...)

Yeah we can probably look that stuff up ourselves, but you're the one writing the article, you can do this research once so that 1000s of readers (do you actually have 1000s of readers?) don't have to do it individually...

This is a comment that's been lurking in my head for months, maybe years -- you do this all the time. Repair thyselves.
