Checking again, it looks like all the reports I've seen about that trace back to a single Phoronix article (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MT...) which doesn't actually cite its sources. Sorry for unintentionally propagating unsubstantiated rumors.

That project died. Intel is going to continue licensing graphics cores from PowerVR (the one that made Poulsbo) for low power products like atom and will probably keep doing their bad inhouse designs for integration into the top end CPU's. After following Intel's graphics efforts for a decade I can say with fair certainty that they will keep announcing graphics products and then keep killing them before they see the light of day. They've done it more times than I can count. The low watt design didn't even last a year before they decided it was just cheaper to use PowerVR designs (of course they waited till after the Poulsbo backlash died down).

As noted in the article, the SGX535 is an upgraded version of the SGX500 that IS paulsbo. Though that isn't the best link you can probably google a better article using the keywords "intel powervr SGX". I should also note that PowerVR designs are very common in android cellular phones, so the driver situation should be much improved from when the GMA500 came out, though I don't know for sure it will be better.
