HP has been unlucky like many others as its documented plans get leaked online. However, this time, it's more about AMD's Evergreen family graphics that support DirectX 11 as Engadget managed to grab few HP slides. Two ATI Radeon HD 5570 and HD 5350 graphics cards are listed to arrive with HP's Pavilion and Pavilion Elite systems. As of now, only a few details about these cards are available.

Amongst the leaked slides, AMD's upcoming graphics card fall into low-end or mid-end segment of its ATI Radeon HD 5000 series family. ATI Radeon HD 5350 is codenamed as Evora Cedar and is listed to launch on January 7, 2010. Yes, that's when the CES 2010 convention starts and hence, it's obvious that AMD will announce it then. This Radeon HD 5350 has 1GB onboard memory (GDDR5) and offers three ports HDMI, DVI and VGA Ports.

While the other card Radeon HD 5570, codenamed Jaguar, will offer 2GB onboard memory (GDDR5) and will be introduced on February 20, 2010. This new Jaguar card will support DisplayPort along with HDMI and DVI instead of VGA port found in HD 5350. No details about the core clockspeeds were available.

Apart from these two new graphics cards from ATI, the HP's leaked plan also pointed at new Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors in anvil. The upcoming Intel Core i3 and Core i5 chips would be based on anticipated Clarkdale cores that recently got the  GPGPU support.

Intel Core i3 6xx and Core i5 6xx would be power conscious microprocessors with a difference of higher L3 Cache (4MB vs 3MB), Turbo Boost technology support. The Intel Core i5 will feature AES-NI support including seven instructions to accelerate different encryption and decryption aspects. Apart from that, Core i5 6xx also supports Intel's Turbo Boost technology which is absent for Core i3 6xx chips. No further details about the core clockspeeds or any other facts were disclosed.
