Assuming the benchmarks are accurate, then the article below is interesting as it provides actual gaming benchmark results. A couple of minor quibbles:
1. It would have been nice to see the fps for the more demanding games at low settings, just to understand the tradeoffs.
2. I with they would have also benchmarked the ib i5 with a llano chip instead of just the 2500k and a low end discrete.
My takeaways are the Ib igpu performs a little less than llano and can handle most pre 2010 games if not too demanding or maybe on low settings. Not too shabby for an Intel igpu
