Eww. Do you guys know that Intel is threatening to surpass the PS3s GPU with their IGP next year?

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Were it an AMD/ATI IGP, I could believe it, but each time Intel announces it finally managed to make a fast IGP, shortly after mankind is introduced to a new definition of slowness!!!   

Their latest mainstream one is about as fast as the ATI HD 5450 and they have a part coming which is twice as fast as the one which was tested at Anandtech. So its not that much of a stretch if you consider their 22nm 2011 tick model. Unfortunately, it seems they might actually be right this time.

The latest I saw charted was still two steps (in Tom's HW hierarchy chart) below even my HD3300, that's not exactly new, I bought it during Q1 2009, but it was released in H2 2008.

Still an improvement, though, in the past it took ages to Intel to even reach an integrated Radeon Xpress 1150 or the glorious old discrete entry level GPU 9200.
