Can you please tell us how did youdo it?

My intel 3820-E is putting out 50 Kh/s, so yes, there are CPUs that can do better than some low end (< $100) GPUs.
Is it more price efficient? No.

mhs or khs? if it's khs then yeah any gpu would do better. I have a 5 year old nvidia that does 3 mhs

A couple thousand coders with specs provided by AMD haven't made OpenCL capable drivers for AMD GPUs. Doing it in the dark is never going to happen.
Just a peeve here - We had coders "tricking" GPUs into running semi-arbitrary code considerably faster than CPUs by writing it as custom shader routines, years before OpenCL hit the scene (Google for "GLSL" or "Cg"). So yes, the possibility does exist of mining on a completely non-CL-supporting platform.
That said, shaders (at least back then) had a fairly limited set of available operations they could do (mostly linear algebraic transforms on single or half precision floats, not bitwise ops on integers), and an incredibly small stack space (on the order of 256 bytes) - Good luck implementing SHA256 under those conditions.
Folding@Home made a client for ATI 1900 cards wich ran on DirectX 9. Yup, science computing on DirectX 9.
Back then OpenCL didn't even exist, not even CAL (CAL is like CUDA for ATI, supported since ATI 2000 if i am right)
So cpu mining isn't that bad
I was wasting hd 4000 because i couldn't cpu mine on the 3770
But then again the hd 4000 took 5 watts, not 75

No way, the 3770 cpu is faster than a hd 400 gpu? I thought the worst gpu kills the best cpu. Oh well I stopped the hd 4000. I finally got some lancelots and didn't want to shorten the 3770s life.
Heh, now you know better... The worst AMD GPU is better than the best CPU. The same is not true for intel GPUs, or even Nvidia (to a lesser extent with the 210 for example). Intel GPUs are a token gesture with adequate graphics for most normal people; they are hopeless for any high performance application, including opencl.

bitpop: to answer some of your questions.. I have a similar chip and get about 12Mh/s on the Intel 4000 and 27Mh/s using all cores of the 3770, slightly over clocked.
If you want to play with it, I use minerd.exe, which I can't remember where I found, hehe. I also use a mining_proxy locally to accept its work and translate it to stratum, since it only supports getwork.
So, basically, if you want the machine to do nothing else, that cpu/gpu can do about 39mh/s at considerable wattage (havent measured, because I don't mine with it, but maxing the cores of that chip is going to easily be over 100w.)

My ivy bridge hd 4000 should have opencl now
I have one of these on my laptop and the Bitminter client mines on it, slowly
:Edit: Before anyone asks, no I don't mine on my laptop, I downloaded the client simply to see what it looked like and was surprised to see the Intel HD device available.
Any numbers on Haswell HD4600? it seems to wipe the floor with the 7660D on OpenCL performance...
My home server is always on too. You're lucky you get the same performance ;-)
That would be great IMHO. I know that this GPU is extremely low-end, but since I have free electricity and since I'm on that ultrabook almost all the time I like to use it 
If someone made us an optimized ocl kernel we could probably push a few more mhs :-)
Yeah amazing, mines using exactly 5.9w
Can anyone tell me cpu only mining speed of a i7-3770? Wanna make sure gpu mining is worthwhile and whether to try to add cpu mining. I don't think 12mh/s is bad for a "free" gpu though. Just not sure if it's any faster than cpu only.

I think its 5 or 6 mhs. at what, ~70 watts?
vs 12 mh/s @ ~5 watts

Got it working! My i7-3770 hd 4000 does 12mh/s. Thanks!
There is no cgminer x64 is there?
I forget how bad cpu mining is and can't really test it any more. But is 12mh/s much better than cpu mining? I miss mining and have been waiting for so long for bfl so this will be fun for a while.

I'll keep trying. Wasn't sure whether arch needs to match os or app. I also have driver issues with Windows server 2012.
Who doesn't have issues with Windows? Best would be to use Linux everywhere, but since the dev who worked on OpenSource OpenCL with Intel GPU left the company there is only little hope...
BTW why not use the same arch for all? 64bit Win + 64bit SDK + 64bit app?
