Intel Hints at 'Retina Display' Macs [Video]

Intel VP and GM of the PC Client Group Kirk Skaugen hinted that upcoming Macs could feature Retina Displays during a presentation at the Intel Developer Forum.

Skaugen reveals that Intel's upcoming Ivy Bridge processor is built for Retina display computers, if OEMs choose to use it.

"We are planning to deliver more than 70% higher graphics performance versus the second generation core processor. We'll have new support for three screens, DirectX 11, OpenCL 1.1, and OpenGL 3.1. These are new disclosures today on the amazing performance that we're going to be delivering around this with 2560x1600 resolution and just like we had on the second generation core and now third generation core all this is Retina Display capable, if our OEMs choose to deliver on that."


Considering that Retina Display is an Apple marketing term, it's interesting that Skaugen uses the term when speaking about high resolution displays.

Notably, Apple has also been updating OS X with new images to support the HiDPI mode that Retina Displays would utilize.
