Wbmw: Don't tell Intel. but the bar has already been raised 35% with the 790GX. Also I noted that that review used a MB without Sideport memory which would have boosted the 780G scores by another 15 to 20%. So the bar is really 1.2 * 1.35 or 62% higher than those shown. It is an improvement though from being 1/3rd the performance to 1/2 the performance. Trouble is that Intel's newest IGP is compared to a long available AMD IGP. Look for the RV710 boost late this year, the 880G or 890GX, with Radeon 4450/70 like performance. Pete
