Yep - but does *anyone* have any performance details on these chips? The current GMA950 is fine for desktop use, but obviously leagues behind in gaming and anything serious.

If Intel is getting serious about competing in the graphics arena, this could be a very good thing. If these i965 or future chips start to actually perform, then we have real cause to celebrate. This, combined with the possibility of AMD opening up some of the ATI stuff, could end up leaving Nvidia completely in the cold within a year or two!

Interesting times in the 3D video arena - at long last.
