I was sort of hoping that Aero requirements would set a floor for features and performance of IGPs going forward, but apparently not.

#1, These chips seem to well exceed that requirement.  :  Shark  (#14)  «
#1, agreed. the technology is very dated.  :  albundy  (#16)  «

A Windows Experience Index of 3? Wow, that sure sets the bar high...

#3, you'll get an even higher number without windows!  :  albundy  (#15)  «

One question, I've looked at the pics of different motherboards and they all seem to be single-chip solutions, is this true or am I just not finding the southbridge?

One thing that is a huge downer is that, from what I can see, the Intel part is SINGLE-CHANNEL... yes, I can just imagine a quad-core CPU and an IGP on a single DDR2 channel. I suppose throwing an IGP, memory controller and the rest of the IO onto a single chip is a pin-out nightmare but losing half the memory bandwidth may impact performance quite a bit. I can't wait 'till Intel integrates its memory controller into its mainstream parts so chipsets manufacturers can't cripple the CPUs in that regard (who knows when this will happen considering that from what I've heard socket H will not use Nehalem's IMC).

"mGPU"? Didn't they invent "IGP" in the first place to designate nForce 2 chips with video?

Haven't all Nvdia cards been SM 3 since the first 6 series cards?
