Title: Will IntelR(R) OpenCL helpful for mining? Post by: PRCman on June 01, 2011, 02:43:30 AM http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-sdk/
Title: Re: Will IntelR(R) OpenCL helpful for mining? Post by: redhatzero on June 01, 2011, 03:16:42 AM Probably not. with or without that opencl sdk, a CPU will perform not as good as a GPU.

What about Intel Graphic Chip? Title: Re: Will IntelR(R) OpenCL helpful for mining? Post by: wigsgiw on June 01, 2011, 03:22:11 AM Intel Graphics Chip's have pretty much always been shocking - so I'd say that chances are it'd be about the same as a CPU anyway. If not worse.

Post by: icaci on June 01, 2011, 06:32:11 AM Well, Sandy Bridge packs up to 12 EUs (equivalent to ATI's SPs) and probably that OpenCL SDK would give programmers access to them. There is nothing wrong with your CPU contributing some Mhash/s more :)
