Ah yeah, things like SSE4.2 & QuickPath Interconnect on the i7s too
And of course smaller die (45nm & 32nm) all round

SSE4 is good for HD as most AVC codecs used will incorporate some of those instructions.

IGP is new too for intel too....graphics on the same chip

I found the data in those links very confusing-not really sure what there on about...

So who would use these new chips-high end gamers and graphic designers?

You can game and video editon any of them, obviously the higher end chips will be slightly better.
