Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs Will Play Blu-ray 3D
Intel's best attempt at IGPs yet.
Right now on Westmere chips are integrated graphics along with the CPU sitting on the same silicon, but Sandy Bridge will move them into a single die. This will boost performance in itself, and Intel boasts that the new IGP will be able to decode Blu-ray 3D media.
Intel's hasn't yet revealed everything on Sandy Bridge yet, but the company is likely to discuss the upgraded graphics part at the Intel Developer Forum on September 13 to 15.
The current graphics part in Westmere chips can already do 1080p Blu-ray decodes, but as we know from the consumer electronics space, newer and stronger hardware is required to render the additional images for 3D.
Intel spokesman Nick Knupffer confirmed that Sandy Bridge mobile chips will have the capability for Blu-ray 3D, which hopefully translates into greater 3D graphics performance too.

Wait....
How do you know?
is there a new 3D standard to come? or does it the same of an existing technology?
thestealthyone, six months ago I bought a Vapor-X 5870 for my new built - in the time since then I have barely played 20 hours.. Should probably take a holiday soon!
So get a $100 video card, it'll get the job done to fit your needs just as well.
It doesn't.
that is unless intel wants to start releaseing thier own stand alone graphics card that would communicate and split the load between the onchip gpu and another graphics card made by iintel in which case i say all the better for us as consumers having 3 major graphics card makers out there would be great for the market!
Maybe the AVX instructions are used for this?
If Nintendo can do it with the 3DS, and without the need of glasses...
Possiblities are out there, what I wanna know is power consumption. What would battery life be on a mobile device running 3D, as well as heat.
Only time will tell I suppose.

On implications I don't know but it is way better as the new integrated Intel graphic processor is even faster than the current ATI HD 5450. That is just good for gaming on low settings either.
No, you are not alone. Here is a technical description of why 3D will never take off.
